Wisdom of A Sage

Down around the corner


A man he waits for me


A prophet from the old days


With the wisdom of a sage


It was a cold dark night


When we first met


The moon it filled the sky


I'll never forget the words he said


As he looked me in the eye


 


He said boy, you look troubled


I know what's on your mind


Been walking in circles


All your life


Your whole life you've been blind


The past it tells the story


Of who you are today


If you want to change


Who you become


Listen to what I say


 


Each man's life's a journey


A challenge for his soul


When you learn to accept yourself


Your being will be whole


Have love for your brothers


Treat them as your own


Make your presence a blessing


Wherever you may roam


 


Thunder roared in the distance


And lightning flashed in the sky


As he handed me my destiny


I looked him in the eye


Sir, I believe your story


I know that you are wise


I know that I can't change the past


But I can change my life


If I love myself and others


I know when I leave this life


My never ending story


Began right here tonight
