TO KNOW, TO UNDERSTAND, TO BE Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1972, 2021
To know, to understand, to be To grow into a man who's free Bestow a new command on me And know the upperhanded key
To know, to understand, to be Aglow's the flaming brand you see Below the human-standing knee To go over land and sea
To know, to understand, to be Outgrow the Faerieland's esprit O'erthrow, and countermand, then flee And sow the Fatherland's decree
To know, to understand, to be To blow the second hand agree And throw the fire-branded tree Tableaus we will disband for thee
