Better than I

I thought I did what’s right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight and told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear
The price of obedience involves doing something that you don't want to do.
You know better than I
You know the way
I’ve let go the need to know why
For you know better than I
Disobedience is sometimes the more tempting route
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing I don’t know
Is part of getting through
I try to do what’s best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my trust in you
But now I know, the price of disobedience is even worse than the price of obedience
I saw one cloud and I thought it was the sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was you that taught that bird to fly
If I let you reach me will you teach me
So I chose to obey; and it cost me everything.
