Wisdom’s Way In Song Today

I'm old and gray with this to say Before my dust blows away Years of striving to be wise Here my truth, comes alive Journey's begin on common ground. I go to them, where they are found When I fall I don't fail. My setback is feedback, on the trail How things start is where they go. My intention's clear, as I roll When lost in a fog, I camp where I am. Got to know, the lay of the land Wisdom's way in song today Words of truth forever play In our hearts lifting souls How we live, will echo A half-truth is a whole lie. I seek what's true, from all sides To broadcast less communicate more. My open mind, opens doors Rigid dogma is loud but weak. I'm strong enough to doubt my beliefs Humor's fun when I see. Mirrors laugh, the joke's on me Wisdom's way in song today Words of truth forever play In our hearts lifting souls How we live, will echo I have feelings, they don't have me. I think and feel, in harmony Treat all the same, that's not fair. Each has a voice, in the chorus I hear Drama's optional, a losers play. I turn the page, and walk off stage Open to most, attached to few. I want to hear, your point of view Life is short, death so long How we live, goes on and on Life is short, death so long How we live, goes on and on Life is short, death so long How we live, goes on and on History's trajectory. It need not be, my destiny Things don't change until I do. I stretch from old, to hold what's new The meaning of life is choosing how, I live each moment, here and now Always aware, the end is near. My echo lives, for many years Wisdom's way in song today Words of truth forever play In our hearts lifting souls How we live, will echo I'm old and gray I've had my say As my dust blows away I may have found, what is wise In this song, we come alive
