YOU’VE GOT TO KNOW

YOU’VE GOT TO KNOW WHAT IT IS

THAT GROWS UP IN THE VALLEY

AND DOWN IN THE HILLS

I KNOW WHAT IT IS

BUT CAN’T SEE IT CLEARLY

THE SPIRIT IT THRILLS

TO UNDERSTAND I AM NEARLY

THE POWER AROUND WHICH WE RALLY

IS THE SAME ONE THAT KILLS

DON’T TAKE THIS TOO LIGHTLY

DON’T TAKE THIS TOO HARD

SIMPLY SEEK WISDOM

UNTIL YOUR CUP OVERFILLS.
