[Intro]
[Verse]
Everybody chasing knowledge
Like possession is the key
But the deepest forms of knowing
Only happen... when you be
[Pre-Chorus]
And the field remembers
What the mind forgets
Beneath the performance
The song still singing.
[Chorus]
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know
It’s the law of creation
When the temperature drops
Water turn into snow.
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know
[Verse]
You can wear a thousand faces
Still not recognise your own
A tree reveal its nature
By the fruit that it has grown
Pressure shape the diamond
Time reveal the soul
Every living waveform
Moving toward a hidden goal
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know
It’s the law of creation
When the temperature drops
Water turn into snow.
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know
[Verse]
The river know the mountain
Before it reach the sea
And every seed remember
What it was designed to be
You can paint the surface gold
But winter always show
When the temperature drops
Water turns into snow.
[Chorus]
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know
It’s the law of creation
When the temperature drops
Water turn into snow.
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know.
[Interlude]
[Verse]
Everybody chasing knowledge
Like possession is the key
But the deepest forms of knowing
Only happen when you be
The signal in the silence
The current in the flow
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know
Yeah yeah yeah….
You can know and not be
But you cannot be and not know.
Sing it with me
You can know and not be…
But you cannot be and not know.
