about

Wisdom and truth are expensive. Sometimes you need to spend your whole life to get it.

lyrics

5. I WAS THERE
Once upon a time, down by the sea
A boy took a vow in the land of the free
And he swore by the stars in her eyes
And he gave her his all
But when the bough withers and dies
The cradle will fall
chorus:
I was there, I can talk about it
I was there, there ain’t no doubt about it
I was there, you ain’t got nothing on me
So he gave himself to desire, he was a lover of danger
And he loved like a house on fire in a city of strangers
Though all his walls were were white, and the door wide open
He could not enter in ‘cause his wings were broken
rpt chorus
As I read between the lines of life
At the way things really are
I have gone the distance and paid the price
But the Truth was never far
There is more to living than being alive
There is wisdom and a goal:
You must seek the wheel within the wheel
Find the soul within your soul
rpt chorus
Wisdom finally found me so high upon a hillside
And freedom’s all around me, ‘cause freedom’s on the inside
Was this your finest hour? Was this in vain?
Those days are gone forever, like tears in rain
rpt. chorus
