I prayed a prayer for wisdom just like a farmer prays for rain

'Cause I know that I must have it to survive in this life

And I stared out in the distance 'cause it seemed so far away

And I waited for the lightning

But the lightning and the thunder never came

So I took a look beside me to my left and to my right

And saw people full of wisdom all around in my life

And it started to come clearer I began to understand

That my prayer was being answered, it's all part of God's plan



CHORUS

If we walk with the wise we will grow wise ..wo ..wo

If we walk in the light then our path will be bright

I know There's someone who's already been where we must go

In the light of what they've learned we find

That we will grow wise if we walk with the wise





I've learned to look for answers in those born before my time

As I listen to them tell me what they've learned in their lives

I talk to friends with understanding much deeper than my own

And gain wisdom beyond measure I could never find alone





(Chorus)





BRIDGE

One life can be a candle with wisdom as its fire

And every life touches with its flame is set ablaze





(Chorus)
