Theme for Up-sigh-Down Podcast

lyrics

You ask me how I know what I know
Believing what I find so peculiar
That you are to somehow learn from me
As if maybe you’ll be that much more

Well I’m sorry but I’m unqualified
For whatever it is you would decide makes me worthy
To impart such a token of advice
That could suffice to boast as the answer

‘Cause I’ve gone up and I’ve gone down
Exhausting belief in what seems renowned as true
But all I can tell you that I know is that I don’t
And I expect every lesson
Will only reveal the unexpected again
Turning upside down
What the world claims to have found

We’re desperately in need of relief
From the demanded pursuit of perfection,
Affection, and everything they say
Will be the way to freedom

‘Cause I’ve gone up and I’ve gone down
Exhausting belief in what seems renowned as true
But all I can tell you that I know is that I don’t
And I expect every lesson
Will only reveal the unexpected

But all I can tell you I know is that I don’t
And if nothing else
I pray that gives you hope
(And if nothing else
I pray) that gives you hope
For He chose the weak to shame the strong
So when we are weak, we are strong
And all their foolish wisdom is wrong

Still all I can tell you that I know is that I don’t
And I expect every lesson
Will only reveal the unexpected again
Turning upside down
What the world claims to have found
