Laurence Overmire - The Forge lyrics

He asked for one thing in this life Wisdom He was graced with talent, dreams, ambition But he asked for wisdom. Despite all his gifts, opportunity eluded him Politics destroyed him Success and fame never came Lovers and friends betrayed him, called him a fool. Lost, alone and in despair He came to understand What most people never know And, in the end, it made him a better man. His wish had been granted.
