Wisdom

Yeah, wisdom can't come too early

For a young man with the whole world in his hand

Yeah, wisdom can't come too fast

For a boy who will not heed the warning

And it's too late to turn back

Oh, wisdom

And when he sees he was defeated by

What he believed was only right

Was really just another lie

That's when he'll cry

Oh, wisdom

Oh yeah

Yeah, for wisdom

Yeah, wisdom came too late

For the old man

And now it's too late to wash the blood from his hands

Now he'll cry wisdom

Oh, many times I heard him say

Any price you have to pay

Will be worth it on that fateful day

When yours is the life that says

Hey, you'll be glad

You'll be so glad

Oh

You could've wasted all

Wisdom, hey

Wisdom, hey

She's crying out in the street

Crying out for you

You need it, you need it, you need it

Got the cure for my foolish ways

I turned my back on

I can't, I can't turn away, no

I can't turn away, no

I won't turn away

I can't look, no, but turn away

I'm losing sleep

I can feel it

My life is on the line now

Ooh

She cries so sweet
