Lyrics

THIS IS WISDOM

When we were young it was easy to believe
So much easier to see:
A story in one WORD
A forest in one TREE
An ocean in one DROP
A never-ending TREASURE

This is wisdom
Be like children
Ordinary eyes
Longing for a kingdom

Where could I run and never hear your voice
In the yard or with the swine
Did you withhold the wine
Or offer me a snake
Or offer me a stone
You always offered true love

This is wisdom
Be like children
Ordinary eyes
Longing for a kingdom

Ask and you won’t be denied
Keep on looking
You will find
Knock and the doors will open wide

This is wisdom
Be like children
Ordinary eyes
Longing for a kingdom
