Age Old Lyrics - Singles - Vert

I met an old king yesterday 

he was standing on the mountain side 

and though he wore peasants clothes 

his royalty he could not hide 

nor his grief 

staring at the stars 

his old hand pointing out the brightest by far 

he told me of the skys secrets 

and he says the stars lead to Jesus 

another king? 

and he crys as he says 

I have wisdom but it matters not 

for my children do not believe my words 

I have wealth but it matters not 

for it's not enough to buy their love 

and he whispers 

my children do not love me 

as we sit and watch the sun fall 

he asks of my knowledge 

he says he's felt the pain of a fallen castle wall 

he clames sorrow is wisdom's college 

as I listen to his words of tears 

he quietly confirms my fear 

that no matter how you run and scream 

terror is never just a dream 

I have wisdom, but it matters not 

for my children do not believe my words 

I have wealth but it matters not 

for it's not enough to buy their love 

and he whispers 

my children do not love me 

I'm the only one who listens to his words, 

am I the only one to listen to his words?
