lyrics

(verse 1) I might never learn the names of all the flowers, or be able to identify every bird. The night constellations will remain a mystery to me,
Too much knowledge is a dangerous thing… haven’t you heard.
(verse 2) I may never reach the summit of Mount Everest.
Or travel the length of the Amazon. I’m just trying to remember the best way to get back home, ‘cause every place I recognize… may soon be gone.
(chorus) But I’m okay, it’s alright… if I never learn another thing.
I’m okay… if there are places I’ll never go.
I’m okay, it’s alright… no matter what tomorrow brings,
I’m okay… ‘cause I know what I don’t need to know.
(verse 3) I try not to listen to the politicians, screaming and shouting in my newsfeed. They’re all part of the problem, and that’s never gonna change,
It’s just a bunch of white noise… that I don’t need.
(verse 4) I never claimed to have all the answers, and I’m the last person to give anyone advice. But one thing I’ve learned, is how to tune the world out, ‘cause not being in the know… is kinda nice.
