My life has been a great big school I've learned new things and every rule.
My life has been a great big school
I've learned new things and every rule.
Sometimes learning has caused me pain
but with assimilation of wisdom we have much to gain.
There is no guidebook or map to lead
there are no signs or atlases to read.
We may fall down at times feel lost
and wonder at what learning may really cost.
Wisdom is not something we attain overnight
it is acquired fleetingly beyond our sight.
As we grow older we finally come to see
how knowledge and wisdom can set us free.
