I Know Now - Michael

I knew then that foreign language is a jumble of nonsense words,

I know now, I just can’t understand it.

I knew then that everyone in the world had food to eat,

I know now, that many people are hungry.

I knew then that water is clean an available with the turn of a knob,

I know now, that it can be dirty, disease spreading, and a mile away.

I knew then that all starry skies are the same,

I know now, that they aren’t.

I knew then that milk comes from cows,

I know now, that each glass must first be squeezed from udders.

I knew then few people ride public transport,

I know now, buses are always crammed.

I knew then that 1,000,000 Rwandans were killed

I know now, that there is so much forgiveness.
