I grew up fast, left youth behind,

(Fast… left youth behind…)

Fourteen years and a world unkind.

(Unkind… so unkind…)

Abandoned, lost, but I still could see,

(Still could see… still could see…)

More than most, it carried me.

Oh, the world will teach you lessons,

(If you listen… if you listen…)

But only if you hear.

(Only if you hear…)

The road is full of wisdom,

(Full of wisdom… full of wisdom…)

For the ones who stand nearby.

(Near… near…)

But the man who does not listen,

(Does not listen… does not listen…)

Walks a road so cold and blind.

(Cold and blind… cold and blind…)

Wisdom whispers in the distance,

(In the distance… in the distance…)

Yet he leaves it all behind.

(All behind… all behind…)

I’ve seen the sun sink in the sand,

(Sink in the sand… sink in the sand…)

Felt the weight of time’s cruel hand.

(Cruel hand… cruel hand…)

I don’t claim to know it all,

(Know it all… know it all…)

But I’ve learned the rise before the fall.

Oh, the echoes tell their stories,

(Echoes tell their stories…)

But they vanish in the wind.

(Vanish in the wind…)

If you never stop to listen,

(Stop to listen… stop to listen…)

You might lose yourself again.

(Lose yourself again…)

But the man who does not listen,

(Does not listen… does not listen…)

Walks a road so cold and blind.

(Cold and blind… cold and blind…)

Wisdom whispers in the distance,

(In the distance… in the distance…)

Yet he leaves it all behind.

(All behind… all behind…)

Oh, the echoes in the silence,

(Echoes in the silence…)

Are the lessons left unheard.

(Lessons left unheard…)

If you never stop to listen,

(Stop to listen…)

You’ll get lost inside the words.

(Lost inside the words…)

There’s a fire in the wisdom,

(Fire in the wisdom…)

But the blind don’t see the flames.

(Don’t see the flames…)

Truth will only find you,

(Only find you…)

When you call it by its name.

(Call it by its name…)

Now my time is running thin,

(Running thin… running thin…)

Footsteps fading in the wind.

(In the wind… in the wind…)

I will share with those who hear,

(Those who hear… those who hear…)

For only they will keep it nearby.

But the man who does not listen,

(Does not listen… does not listen…)

Will never find his way back home.

(Way back home… way back home…)

Lost in echoes, lost in wisdom,

(Lost in wisdom… lost in wisdom…)

Fading far and all alone.

(All alone… all alone…)

Oh, the road will teach you lessons,

(If you listen… if you listen…)

But only if you hear…

(Only if you hear…)
