The Wisdom

The Wisdom
©2009 Phil Gates

Well I was walking
Down the Streets
In the shadows
Of the Night

Well I was talking
To the dead
To the lost ones
In my life

And I will listen
To the wisdom
Of what they’d say

And I will listen
To the wisdom
Of what they’d say

I lost my Mama
And my Dad
I’ve lost so many
Of the friends I’ve had

Oh I remember
Yes I remember
Then in my heart
And in my head

And I will listen
To the wisdom
Of what they’d say

Words that they’ve said
Stay in my head
And all of the time I know
The truth is there.

Well they told me
Things I should know
The things that guide me
And helped me grow

Oh in this life
Oh in this life
That I’ve lead
Oh I’ve lead

And I will listen
To the wisdom
Of what they’d say

And I will listen
To the wisdom
Of what they’d say
