Oh,
We Who Know Everything!
Oh, we who know everything
And don’t mind telling it.
Oh, we who know everything;
Although, seldom yelling it.
We talk so much … we rarely
listen.
Many gems surpass us
Right in front of our eyes.
If our ears actually heard
My, what a surprise!
Oh, we who know everything
Unaccustomed to fall
Never knowing our ignorance
Is an arrogant call.
The wrong things we've told.
The wrong things we've said.
Should make us
Unable to sleep in our beds!
Then, perhaps we’d think;
Perhaps we’d listen.
Maybe we’d learn what other folks
know
Because learning to respect
others
Is to know everything.
