RELLA IF I KNEW ONE SINGLE THING
IF I HAD A THING TO KNOW
I’D BE MORE THAN JUST A THING
I WOULD BE A THING THAT KNOWS
IF I WAS A THING THAT KNOWS
OH THE THINGS THAT I MIGHT DO!
DOING RIGHT, SHINING BRIGHT
IF I KNEW
IS THIS SEA SHELF MORE THAN THIS SEA SHELF SEEMS?
IS THERE SOMETHING MAKING THESE WATERS GLEAM?
DOES IT KNOW I’M HERE? ARE ITS CLOUDY BEAMS
GIFTS TO ME? MEANT FOR ME? MEANT TO BE?
I AM MUCH TOO SMALL TO KNOW
I AM MUCH TOO SMALL TO COPE
BUT I THINK I'VE DREAMED A DREAM
NOW I'M BIG ENOUGH TO HOPE
IN MY LITTLE, LITTLE LIFE
LET ME FIND ONE THING TO KNOW
IN MY LITTLE RELLA LIFE
LET ME FIND—JUST ONE THING
ONE SMALL THING—TO KNOW
