To understand, to comprehend, to know
With these three verbs that I may live sans strife
However fluent in these skills I grow
I may not ever learn to live my life
I know your goals, I see them every day
But I won't approach this ever endless aim
I'll never know exactly what to say
If I can't figure out what is my name
No matter how successful I become
Nor however much I come to learn
Until I realise my sign is numb
None of that which I have I'll ever earn
I will not take my mind up off this shelf
'Til I can firmly state "I know myself."
