Wise Man Lyrics - Forever - Uriah Heep

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 want to 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
