Wisdom was once far from your reach

in an age of confusion you'll find

no relief from emotion or the passage of time

while forever searching the depths of your mind


Oh don't try to wander away from your path

the twisting and turning will pass

believe me, my friend, you've been here before

you walked the tightrope straight through the door


Come hither the children to the land of the few

the proud and the privileged will bow

foregoing the leisure and the comforts they knew

in the eye of the storm you've come into view


Oh dance, dance on the mountain

release the chains

the light shines within you

the tides wash away the pain


Abandon your armor and put down thy sword 

the white flag waves windy once more

flowers in the desert will rise in the spring

you water their roots with the wisdom you bring
