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
