These are the lyrics for "Better Than I" - from the motion picture, "Joseph, King of Dreams" - "King James"-ed. Why, some of you, may ask, do I "King James" my English? In a nutshell, because I am a perfectionist, and I have come to learn that, for example, "thee", "thou", "thine" are singular pronouns. Therefore, when speaking in the second person, to only one person, I sometimes use those pronouns. Not always, however, because people some people might think I'm "cuckoo" if I did. When speaking to God, however, I acknowledge him as the one true God that he is, by addressing him as such, in the pronouns I use. Just in case ye ever wondered, that is a little insight into why I "do that". I do not mean to prove anything - although I have come to know my God as differing from me in that regard! Stay tuned!
Here's the link - and "King James"-ed lyrics (with the parenthetical word "might" added, as well ;)):

1.
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 thee how to help me -
Now, just when I (might) have given up;
The truth is coming clear:
Chorus:
Thou knowest better than I -
Thou knowest the way;
I've let go the need to know why,
For thou knowest better than I!
2.
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 thee - for...
Chorus
Bridge:
I saw one cloud, and thought it was the sky,
I saw a bird, and thought that I could follow -
But, it was thee that taught'st that bird to fly,
If I let thee reach me, wilt thou teach me? For...
Chorus
... I'll take what answers thou suppliest -
Thou knowest better than I.
Daniel
