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 heard the future if you need to find the truth And in his eyes I saw that it was so
So I came around and asked him the meaning of live And as he smiled I saw a twinkle in his eyes 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 low and wanting for your turn Is the only way to ease your concern If you want to find your dream for sure You don't wake up too soon And you'll find that he's a shooting for the moon
Wise man, wise man Which way should I run There's so many roads, so many ways to turn I'm 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
