V6

[Intro] One thought One word One voice Waiting to be heard Write it down [Verse 1] Someone watched the stars one night Someone learned to make a fire Someone asked what lay beyond And built a road to travel on Every answer that we know Started somewhere long ago One small question in a mind Leaving something new behind [Pre-Chorus] Ask it Learn it Turn another page Tell it Teach it Pass it through the age What you know Was never meant To disappear with you [Chorus] Write it down Sing it loud Let another mind find out Oghma Keep the story moving on Write it down Pass it round Every answer that we've found Oghma Nothing learned should ever Be gone One voice becomes a thousand One spark becomes a flame If someone carries on the words The knowledge still remains Oghma Write it down And pass it on [Verse 2] There are truths inside a book There are lessons where we look In a workshop, in a song In discovering we were wrong Every failure leaves a clue Every question opens two Change the method, test again That's how knowledge never ends [Pre-Chorus] Build it Break it See what you can learn Read it Question it Let the pages turn Every answer Leaves another Question waiting there [Chorus] Write it down Sing it loud Let another mind find out Oghma Keep the story moving on Write it down Pass it round Every answer that we've found Oghma Nothing learned should ever Be gone One voice becomes a thousand One spark becomes a flame If someone carries on the words The knowledge still remains Oghma Write it down And pass it on [Post-Chorus] Read it Speak it Make it something new Learn it Share it Let it travel through Oh-oh Pass it on Oh-oh Pass it on [Verse 3] Kings can fall and towers burn Still the words can be returned Names may vanish into years Songs can cross a thousand ears Take the wisdom someone gave Add another line you've made We inherit what they knew Then leave more for those after you [Pre-Chorus] No one holds The final page Knowledge doesn't have an age Every mind Can leave a mark Every answer Starts a spark [Chorus] Write it down Sing it loud Let another mind find out Oghma Keep the story moving on Write it down Pass it round Every answer that we've found Oghma Nothing learned should ever Be gone One voice becomes a thousand One spark becomes a flame If someone carries on the words The knowledge still remains Oghma Write it down And pass it on [Bridge] I don't need to know it all I just need to want to learn Every door I open Shows another left to turn Maybe knowledge isn't answers Maybe wisdom starts with doubt Maybe every great discovery Begins with asking "How?" [Breakdown] Ask Listen Learn Create Write Teach Question Change [Build] Take the words They gave to you Add a thought They never knew Leave it there For someone new That's what knowledge Is supposed to do [Final Chorus] Write it down Sing it loud Let the whole world find it out Oghma Keep the story moving on Write it down Pass it round Every voice can add a sound Oghma Nothing learned should ever Be gone One voice becomes a thousand One spark becomes a flame A million different minds can change But knowledge still remains Oghma Write it down Oghma Pass it on [Outro] One thought One word One voice Waiting to be heard Someone someday May need to know So write it down And let it go.
