Lyrics

Wise man knows

Wise man understands

How not to loose our mind

Knowledge of maintaining mental stability

Wise mind knows

Intelligent mind comprehends

How not to live blind

Understanding how not to live in ignorance


So many ways to leave the road

Various paths to deviate from one's journey

So many ways to lose control

Multiple ways to lose self-control

many reasons carry loads

Many reasons that burden individuals

many ways to lose the code

Diverse ways to deviate from moral principles

I can’t stop follow my line

Expressing the inability to cease following one's path

untill I reach all my goals

Persistence until achieving all personal goals

stop now my ride

A call to halt the journey

Until I stop once for all

Persistence until a final stop

We live with fears in our eyes

Living with fear evident in our eyes

beleave the tears are stopped by wise

Believing that wisdom stops tears

Sorry I can’t live with the tide.

Regret for inability to go with the flow

Sorry I use to be so wild.

Apology for past wild behavior


Wise man knows

Reiteration of the wise man's understanding

How not to loose our mind

Knowledge of maintaining mental stability

Wise mind knows

Intelligent mind comprehends

How not to live blind

Understanding how not to live in ignorance


I tried to be my own wiseman

Personal attempt at becoming one's own wise man

tried to be the wise for all

Striving to be wise for others but recognizing limitations

I tried to be my own light

Personal attempt at being a guiding light

But I’m not good in this rôle.

Admission of inadequacy in that role

For lot of people this man coud be called god

Recognition of varying perspectives on a wise man

For me this man could be someone on my road

Seeing a potential wise figure on one's own journey


You can be the wiseman for me or the wiseman for all

Offering the choice to be a personal or universal wise man


So Would you like to be my real wiseman for a While

Invitation to be a genuine guide for a period

Would you like to be the man who light me for a while.

Invitation to be a guiding light for a while

Won’t you like be the foolman sometimes by night.

Suggesting occasional foolishness is acceptable

you got to be carefull yes the same man can blind

Caution about the potential blinding effect of the same individual


You can be the wiseman for me or the wiseman for all

Reiteration of the choice to be personal or universal


Wise man knows

Knowledge of maintaining mental stability

How not to loose our mind

Intelligent mind comprehends

Wise mind knows

Understanding how not to live in ignorance

How not to live blind

Reiteration of the wise mind's knowledge


Wise man knows

Reiteration of the wise man's understanding

How not to loose our mind

Knowledge of maintaining mental stability

Wise mind knows

Intelligent mind comprehends

How not to live blind

Understanding how not to live in ignorance
