Wise Man
Time's Embrace: A Poetic Journey through Loss and Beauty
Lyrics
You were looking for me today looking for the hopes you had
You searched for me today, seeking the aspirations you once held.
You were holding my hand today, giving me the strength I thought I had
You were with me today, offering the strength I thought I possessed.
Looking at you seeing what the time did to you, it created pain for me and you
Observing you, I see the impact of time on both of us, causing pain.
Your knowledge lost in time as time lost the knowledge
Your wisdom fades with time, just as time loses its knowledge.
How do I get it back before it's gone for good
How can I retrieve what's lost before it's permanently gone?
Wise man looking at me seeing what I used to be
A wise man reflects on me, witnessing my past self.
You were so great and beautiful too
You were once magnificent and beautiful.
Oh wise man where have you gone
Oh, wise man, where have you disappeared?
Just yesterday we were sitting having lunch
Just yesterday, we sat together, sharing a meal.
Dazed eyes looking at me eating away at the clock
Eyes filled with confusion gaze at me, consuming time.
They were lost in time as time lost them
They became lost in time, as time itself loses them.
Gone for good as the day wraps up
Irretrievably lost as the day concludes.
You were looking at me today looking for the hopes I had
You sought my aspirations today.
You were holding my hand today, giving me the strength I thought I had
You held my hand, providing strength I doubted having.
Looking at you seeing what the time did, it created pain for me and you
Examining you, I witness the pain caused by time.
Your knowledge lost in time as time lost your knowledge
Your wisdom lost in the passage of time.
How do I get it back before it's gone for good?
How can I reclaim it before it's forever lost?
Dazed eyes every day, dazed thoughts every day
Every day, eyes are bewildered, thoughts are muddled.
Wandering free, looking at you
Roving freely, gazing at you.
Running through the apple fields
Sprinting through apple fields.
Free at last, free at heart
Finally free, liberated in spirit.
I saw the day you ran from me
I witnessed the day you distanced yourself from me.
Nothing left, no more stress
Nothing remains, no more stress.
Life is beautiful in the end.
Life is beautiful ultimately.
Looking at you saying goodbye, Life was beautiful in the end
Looking at you bid farewell, life was beautiful in retrospect.
