There are Some Things You
Can Not Find Out


No doubt you have seen things occurring
hat to you al the time did seem strange
And yet you can't tell what is coming.
Or how things that now are may change;
1t is best for to wait and have patience.
Don't crowd it and don't have doubt;
No matter how hard you may try it,
There's some things you can not find out.
You think you may know what is coming,
Perhaps you are wise on this line:
The truth Is YOU only are guessing,
The object you can not define;
Don't think for a moment were mapping,
In fact we are well wide awake;
We know every move we are making.
So don't you make any mistake.
We know to man who's against US. -
And Just what impression he makes;
But seldom these people imagine.
What desperate chances they take;
OF cOurSe!We m asst judge by the motive
hey argue to bring things about;
We listen to what they are saying.
But there's some things you can not find out
When men prove their tact and ambition.
They are posted and know what to do;
No matter what you may imagine,
The results never come up to you;
The questions that's asked may be answered,
There are some things we know all about;
The answers you get may not suit you.
But there's something you can not find out
They ask why you speak out in meeting.
FOR this they will make demand;
1 hey ask if .ou have fixed purpose.
And want to know just where you stand;
o matter how good your intentions.
You alone know lust what you're abOut:
You are wise if you wait for the issue,
For there ssome Things you can not lind u,
1t always takes practice and patience,
To get the results that you ask.
1t also takes time. thought and reason;
Besides its difficult task,
Don't crowd when you're only beginning:
In the end we'll bring all things about,
Just remember that you not in it;
