When will I get it
When will I finally see
That what I think I know
Comes with no guarantee
Wish I were smarter
But wishing just ain’t enough
Not even my bluster
Is enough to call my bluff
Well I ain’t exactly living the dream
My dream is out of steam
When will I ever learn
When will I get it straight
And if I ever learn
Will it be too late
When will I ever learn
When will I know it
I mean the answer, that is
How will it come to me
Maybe in the form a quiz
Will I be ready
Will I be humble and wise
Will I understand it
And what it might symbolize
Well I ain’t exactly known for my smarts
I galumph along in fits and starts
When will I touch it
When will I know its touch
That’s all that I need
Not asking all that much
Will I feel its love
And will I love it back
Will it speak to me
Or will I be out of whack
Don’t know how much longer I can hang
Living with this sturm and drang
