|
I sat before the wise man |
|
In the autumn of my youth |
|
And i told him all |
|
The things i had to know |
|
He said you have the future |
|
If you need to find the truth |
|
And in his eyes |
|
I saw that it was so |
|
So i came right out |
|
And asked him |
|
The meaning of life |
|
And as he smiled |
|
I saw a twinkle in his eye |
|
He said with all his years |
|
There's still so much |
|
He has to learn |
|
And once again |
|
I saw that it was so |
|
Keep on living, loving |
|
Waiting your turn |
|
It's the only way to |
|
Ease your concern |
|
If you want to find |
|
Your dream, be sure |
|
You don't wake up too soon |
|
Or you'll find it easier |
|
Shooting for the moon |
|
Wise man, wise man |
|
Which way shall i run |
|
There's so many roads |
|
So many ways to turn |
|
I am like a blind man |
|
Lost in the sun |
|
I wanna be like you |
|
And be a wise man too |
|
But i'm looking for |
|
An easy way to learn |
|
And be a wise man too |
