I sat before the wise man In the autumn of my youth And I told him all The things I had to know He said you have the future If you need to find the truth And in his eyes I saw that it was so So I came right out And asked him The meaning of life And as he smiled I saw a twinkle in his eye He said with all his years There's still so much He has to learn And once again I saw that it was so Keep on living, loving Waiting your turn It's the only way to Ease your concern If you want to find Your dream, be sure You don't wake up too soon Or you'll find it easier Shooting for the moon Wise man, wise man Which way shall I run There's so many roads So many ways to turn I am like a blind man Lost in the sun I want to be like you And be a wise man too But I'm looking for An easy way to learn And be a wise man too
