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 d**h 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
