The Knowing (From the Ani DiFranco Children's Book: The Knowing)

I have a name
And my name has a story
I have a look
A sound
A smell
A shape
A size
I have a color to my hair my skin my eyes
But this is not all of who i am
Underneath this is something more
All of these things are just what's showing
Underneath all that i know is The Knowing
Underneath all that i know is The Knowing
I have a favorite blanket it's a little torn
I have a family and a place where i was born
I have a favorite song and a favorite food
I have a favorite game depending on my mood
But this is not all of who i am
Underneath this is something more
All of these things are just what's showing
Underneath all that i know is The Knowing
Underneath all that i know is The Knowing
I have a life
That i am here to live
I have gifts that i am here to give
I have friends and with my friends i have fun
I have a love of the wind and of the sun
Yes, i can take heart in what's showing
Knowing it's all a part of The Knowing
Yes, i can take part in what's showing
Knowing we're all a part of The Knowing
I have beliefs and someday those beliefs might change
I have blocks that i like to arrange and rearrange
There are things that i'm told and things that i learn
There are skills i've practiced and praise i've earned
But this is not all of who i am
Underneath this is something more
All of these things are just what's showing
Underneath all that i know is The Knowing
Underneath all that i know is The Knowing
Underneath all that i know is The Knowing
