I can still remember him well
He taught me of life and taught it so well
He spoke of beggars and kings
He said the best of all thing
Be wise for wisdom sets a man free
Lessons fled away with the tide
And his wishes die in a soul of a child
Who only wanted to sing
So like the bird on the wing
Up through the winds to set myself free
Seasoned now by trials of time
Softer to touch and mellow like wine
It's somehow feeling alone -
Took the journey on home
To see my merlin dad once more
(Interlude)
I heard no words, heard me no tales
I saw no life, so ashen, so pale
I saw my eyes growin' dim
For it was only in him
That I saw hope in destinies star
(Repeat Verse1)
Be wise for wisdom sets a man free
Be wise for wisdom sets a man free
