Erin O'Donnell - Scratching The Surface lyrics

So what if I can answer every sort of inquiry? So what if all my knowledge spans the course of history? At best I'd be a clanging cymbal or a sounding gong at worst I'd be a know-it-all who got everything wrong (Chorus:) We only scratch the surface of things we only glimpse the underpinnings we only see the shadow that's cast but someday, someday we'll see it all at last So what if I can plumb the depths all biology? So what if I can scale the heights of all cosmology? At most I'd be one who can see but never understands at worst I'd miss the beach but clearly see a grain of sand (Chorus:) We only scratch the surface of things we only glimpse the underpinnings we only see the shadow that's cast but someday, someday we'll see it all at last (Bridge) Do you think you'd like to know? Well there's knowing and knowing and the two are not the same (Chorus:) We only scratch the surface of things we only glimpse the underpinnings we only see the shadow that's cast but someday, someday we'll see it all at last
