Word From The Wise Lyrics - Singles - East To West

(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 death 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
