Wisdom of the Ages lyrics

Listen to the wisdom of the ages

Listen to the words of many sages

Live each day, as if it were your last

It's written in the stars, your destiny is cast

And that hourglass runs too fast, no doubt

For the sands of time are running out

Listen to the wisdom of the ages

These words can be found in history's pages

Live each day, for happiness can't wait

And love while you may, but heed the hand of fate

If the finger points it's too late, no doubt

For the sands of time are running out

But the man who turns and escapes somehow

Is the wisest of men

And to such a man, I'd bow
