All That's Known [Jonathan Groff]

[Melchior:]

All that's known

In History, in Science

Overthrown

At school, at home, by blind men



You doubt them,

And soon they bark and hound you

Till everything you say is just another bad about you



All they say

Is "Trust in what is written"

Wars are made

And somehow that is wisdom



Thought is suspect

And money is their idol

And nothing is okay unless it's scripted in their Bible



But I know

There's so much more to find

Just in looking through myself, and not at them



Still, I know

To trust my own true mind

And to say there's a way through this



On I go

To wonder and to learning

Name the stars and know their dark returning



I'm calling

To know the world's true yearning

The hunger that a child feels for everything they're shown



You watch me

Just watch me

I'm calling

And one day all will know



You watch me

Just watch me

I'm calling

And one day all will know
