More Than a Mind

I knew the words, I knew the way, I saw the truth before the break. But when the moment came too close, My careful thoughts just slipped away. I could explain what should be done, Like it was easy, clear as light. But fear can turn the strongest voice Into a shadow in the night. Oh, knowing is easy, Living is hard. A head full of answers Can still miss the heart. It takes more than a mind, More than a beautiful line. More than a smart little spark Shining alone in the dark. It takes more than a thought, More than the lessons we learn. You can know what is right, And still not get it right We all can talk like we are strong, We all can shine from far away. But wisdom lives in smaller things, In what we choose, in what we stay. A clever soul can lose its way, A quiet heart can still be true. It’s not just seeing where to go, It’s having strength to walk it through. Oh, knowing is easy, Living is hard. A head full of answers Can still miss the heart. It takes more than a mind, More than a beautiful line. More than a smart little spark Shining alone in the dark. It takes more than a thought, More than the lessons we learn. You can know what is right, And still not get it right So if I fall, if I get lost, If I let all my wisdom fade, Maybe the truth was never words, Maybe the truth is what we make. Final Chorus It takes more than a mind, More than a beautiful line. More than a smart little spark Shining alone in the dark. It takes more than a thought, More than the lessons we learn. You can know what is right, And still not get it right
