I opened a book, thought I'd know it all
A simple beginning, a curious call
But every new answer just opened a door
To questions and mysteries I'd not seen before
I climbed up the hill where the wise one sat
With notebooks and theories and this and that
They smiled as I asked them what truth they knew
They said, child, we're still learning too
At first it was easy, the basics were clear
Facts in neat boxes, knowledge near
I stood on the mountain, felt tall and proud
Thinking I'd mapped every inch of the cloud
Then came the cracks in my perfect view
Whispers of deeper worlds breaking through
Each step I climbed revealed more sky
No end to the summit, no reason why
The more I learn, the less I know
The wider the river, the further it flows
Every horizon pulls me beyond
The map keeps changing, the road goes on
The more I learn, the more I see
Endless oceans surrounding me
It's the learning paradox, a beautiful curse
A journey unending, a universe
And though it's uncertain, it feels like home
A vast open field where my wonder roams
I read all the thinkers, the scholars, the wise
Found endless patterns behind the disguise
But answers dissolve when you hold them too tight
Like stars disappearing in morning light
I saw my reflection in history's eyes
A student forever under the skies
Each new language, each theory in frame
Left me more humbled, never the same
The more I learn, the less I know
The wider the river, the further it flows
Every horizon pulls me beyond
The map keeps changing, the road goes on
The more I learn, the more I see
Endless oceans surrounding me
It's the learning paradox, a beautiful curse
A journey unending, a universe
And though it's uncertain, it feels like home
A vast open field where my wonder roams
Now I walk lighter, questions in hand
Knowing no mind can conquer the land
I find joy in puzzles, comfort in doubt
But one does the point, not figuring it out
Each day I'm a beginner, eyes open wide
No final chapter, no finish line
Just endless curiosity lighting the way
And the thrill of learning each new day
I've met many travelers walking this road
Each with their own questions, their own heavy load
Some seeking answers, some seeking peace
Some finding freedom and never release
We trade our ideas like lanterns at night
Each flicker of thought, another soft light
Together we wander, explorers in mind
Leaving the comfort of certainty behind
The more I learn, the less I know
The wider the river, the further it flows
Every horizon pulls me beyond
The map keeps changing, the road goes on
The more I learn, the more I see
Endless oceans surrounding me
It's the learning paradox, a beautiful curse
A journey unending, a universe
And though it's uncertain, it feels like home
A vast open field where my wonder roams
It's not a race to win or a prize to find
It's a way of being, a state of mind
Every I don't know is a sacred key
Unlocking the next great mystery
So I'll never be finished, but I'll always be free
With the paradox living inside of me
The more I learn, the less I know
The wider the river, the further it flows
Every horizon pulls me beyond
The map keeps changing, the road goes on
The more I learn, the more I see
Endless oceans surrounding me
It's the learning paradox, a beautiful curse
A journey unending, a universe
And though it's uncertain, it feels like home
A vast open field where my wonder roams
So I'll keep on learning, I'll keep on amazed
By mysteries hidden and knowledge ablaze
It's not about ending, it's about the ride
In the learning paradox, I'll always abide
No summit, no finish, no final throne
Just infinite pathways my mind can own
From first breath to last, the truth I discern
The more I live, the more I learn
