East To West - Word From The Wise lyrics

(c. Leonard Ashlstrom and Don Koch)

Starting to hear so Many voices

Constantly cloud my mind

Beginning to see so many choices

Decisions on every side

I need to know the truths of old

To stand on steady ground

What I wouldn't give if I could live

With the wisdom Solomon found

A word from the wise,

That's what I'm searching for

So I call upon the voice of experience

Give me a sing, Show me an open door

A way to rise above every circumstance

I want a chance to build toward a future

>From the truth of the past

I need divine advice

A word from the wise

Today I faced a world of distractions

Fighting to win my time

Tomorrow I'll see the fruit of my actions

So I've got to do what's right

I need to know the truths of old

To stand on steady ground

What I wouldn't give if I could live

With the wisdom Solomon knew

So I call upon the voice of experience

Give me a sing, Show me an open door

A way to rise above every circumstance

I want a chance to build toward a future

>From the truth of the past

I need divine advice

A word from the wise

If I had one wish, If I had on prayer

I'd ask for the death of God's reason

No other gift could ever compare

To a heart that is full of his wisdom

So I call upon the voice of experience

Give me a sing, Show me an open door

A way to rise above every circumstance

I want a chance to build toward a future

>From the truth of the past

I need divine advice

A word from the wise
