What would a Wise Man say if you asked him how did he become so wise? After many years of wondering about this, Charlie finally found the answer ...
Lyrics
(Met a)
Wise Man on the trail today
Asked how he became that way
He paused and smiled and said to me
“Sonny let me help you see
I took a trip to the moon
One glorious afternoon
Perched by the riverside … and
I began to clear my mind”
Chorus
“Does a rose see its beauty
Can ice feel the cold …
Fire sense its coals?
Does steel know its strength … or the
Hour know its length?” … Nai na
… nai
Surprised by his candour … that he
Didn’t seem to care
My mind began to wander … and
I could understand
Break
The answer I ‘d find … in the
Riddle of his rhyme
RPT x 2
In knowing he knew nothing …
There was nothing he could tell … as
Wisdom seeks its course … so
The river finds the well
Chorus
(Met a)
Wise Man on the trail today
Asked how he became that way
The Wise Man had an open mind … that
Saw the truth from time to time
Chorus
Outro
(Met a)
Wise Man on the trail today
Asked how he became that way
