I sat before the wise man
In the autumn of my youth
And I told him all
The things I had to know
He said you have the future
If you need to find the truth
And in his eyes
I saw that it was so

So I came right out
And asked him
The meaning of life
And as he smiled
I saw a twinkle in his eye
He said with all his years
There´s still so much
He has to learn
And once again
I saw that it was so

Keep on living, loving
Waiting your turn
It´s the only way to
Ease your concern
If you want to find
Your dream, be sure
You don´t wake up too soon
Or you´ll find it easier
Shooting for the moon

Wise man, wise man
Which way shall I run
There´s so many roads
So many ways to turn
I am like a blind man
Lost in the sun
I wanna be like you
And be a wise man too
But I´m looking for
An easy way to learn
And be a wise man too
