Wisdom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lessons you will learn my friend
Up until the very end
Is wisdom life has to teach
Life is full of ups and downs
Broken dreams
And crooked clowns
That drain your drive
Like a leach
As I go
And think about
All the things I dream about
I pray they’re not too hard to reach
Your inner soul will tell you right
Don’t you ever try to fight
The wisdom life has to preach
I hear a voice
That comes into my mind
It soothes my soul
Like the
Ocean tide
I think so clear
With such freedom
Must be the sounds I hear of wisdom
I think so clearly with such freedom Oh
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom Oh
I think so clearly with such freedom Oh
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom Yeah
As you go
And live your life
Don’t you ever sacrifice
The things of love
You have to hold
Nothing ever stays the same
Some say life’s a silly game
There can’t be wisdom in your soul
I hear a voice
That comes into my mind
It soothes my soul
Like the
Ocean tide
I think so clear
With such freedom
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom
I think so clearly with such freedom
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom
I think so clearly with such freedom
You know I’m talkin’ about freedom
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom Yeah
You know I’m talkin’ about wisdom
People
All the lonely people
Acting like such fools
Acting like such fools
Livin' in a world
Livin' in a world
And singin’ the blues
Singin’ the blues
Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom, wisdom
Oh, Oh, Oh,
I think so clearly with such freedom
You know I’m talkin’ about freedom
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom
You know I’m talkin’ about wisdom
I think so clearly with such freedom
You know I’m talkin’ about freedom
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom Yeah
You know I’m talkin’ about wisdom
I think so clearly with such freedom
You know I’m talkin’ about freedom
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom Oh
You know I’m talkin’ about wisdom
I think so clearly with such freedom Oh
You know I’m talkin’ about freedom
Must be the sound I hear of wisdom Oh
You know I’m talkin’ about wisdom
