Listen, Lady Wisdom pleads Calling out to simple minds As they look within themselves They all look within themselves They make gods out of earthly things Satisfy themselves with other things All men like sheep have gone astray Drifting far as she cries for them to stay They turn away, they turn away The good advice they ricochet They turn away, they turn away Life was on the table, but they turned away The foolish look past Lady Wisdom Blinded only by their eyes They build houses of sound Oh, they build a house of sand Drifting far, where have they gone? Drifting far, where have they gone? Drifting far, where have they gone? Drifting far as she cries for them to stay Folly's found her way into the hearts of many men And the company she keeps now lies alone down in the sand
