East To West Word From The Wise
(c. Leonard Ashlstrom and Don Koch)
Starting to hear so Many voices
Constantly cloud my mind
Beginning to see so many choices
Decisions on every side
I need to know the truths of old
To stand on steady ground
What I wouldn't give if I could live
With the wisdom Solomon found
A word from the wise,
That's what I'm searching for
So I call upon the voice of experience
Give me a sing, Show me an open door
A way to rise above every circumstance
I want a chance to build toward a future
>From the truth of the past
I need divine advice
A word from the wise
Today I faced a world of distractions
Fighting to win my time
Tomorrow I'll see the fruit of my actions
So I've got to do what's right
I need to know the truths of old
To stand on steady ground
What I wouldn't give if I could live
With the wisdom Solomon knew
So I call upon the voice of experience
Give me a sing, Show me an open door
A way to rise above every circumstance
I want a chance to build toward a future
>From the truth of the past
I need divine advice
A word from the wise
If I had one wish, If I had on prayer
I'd ask for the death of God's reason
No other gift could ever compare
To a heart that is full of his wisdom
So I call upon the voice of experience
Give me a sing, Show me an open door
A way to rise above every circumstance
I want a chance to build toward a future
>From the truth of the past
I need divine advice
A word from the wise
