Lyrics
Get Wise
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.
Out on the street I come face to face
With what little concern we have for others, in this human race.
You can choose the view you want to see but
It's harder to care than to live in apathy!
Just get wise!
When it's ten years later and we've had our turn
Will our foundation crack or will it stand firm.
Poverty, hunger, addiction and disease.
I want to lend a hand to those in need.
I hear the critics but I know these thoughts are real
And I know part of you too feels the way I feel!
I'll open my eyes and just get wise.
And live my life so that suffering may cease.
I'll live my life so one may walk in peace!
