I know though...

I laugh cause I know to cry
I cry though I know not why

I smile cause I know to feel
I feel not knowing why

I rejoice cause I know of the effort
My effort though I know not if worth the joy

I strive cause I know to dream
I dream though it's not always for joy

My heart beats a kilometre
I run not knowing the distant mile

I awake cause it's another day
Is the day another I question thy

Many a time I pause to see
If my family and friends are with me
I pause only to see them pass me by

I walk gripping your hand in mine
You walk on and I am still behind

You are my angel
You are my light
You are the reason of my life
Though you know not why

Mine is all that I see
I see also that which is not mine

Tomorrow is today's dream
I see it with open eyes

I fly with the sun in my sight
With a promise for a try
To be the shadow when you look back
With a hope in your eye

I will cause I know I can
I will cause I know I can
