Walk With the Wise

I prayed a prayer for wisdom

Just like a farmer prays for rain

'Cause I knew that I must have it

To survive in this lifeAnd I stared out in the distance

'Cause it seemed so far away

And I waited for the lightning

But the lightning and the thunder never came, never cameSo I took a look beside me

To my left and to my right

And saw people full of wisdom

All around in my lifeAnd it started to come clearer

I began to understand

That my prayer was being answered

It's all part of God's planThat if we walk with the wise

We will grow wise, woah

And if we walk in the light

Then our path will be bright I know, yeah I knowThere's someone who's already been where we must go

And in the light of what they've learned, we find

That we will grow wise

If we walk with the wiseI've learned to look for answers

In those born before my time

As I listen to them tell me

What they've learned in their livesI talk to friends with understanding

Much deeper than my own

And gain wisdom beyond measure

I could never find alone'Cause if we walk with the wise

We will grow wise, woah

And if we walk in the light

Then our path will be bright I know, yeah I knowThere's someone who's already been where we must go

And in the light of what they've learned we find

That we will grow wise

If we walk with the wiseOne life can be a candle

With wisdom as its fire

And every life it touches with its flame

Is set ablaze, is set ablazeIf we walk with the wise

We will grow wise, woah

And if we walk in the light

Then our path will be bright I know, yeah I knowThere's someone who's already been where we must go

And in the light of what they've learned we find

That we will grow wise

If we walk with the wiseWe will grow wise

If we walk with the wiseWalk, walk with the wise
