lyrics

Wise man I’ve watched you I know what you know
Searching for light finding mostly shadow
Where words have no meaning and songs no tune
Wise man I’ve watched you I know what you know

You carried those burdens you carried those loads
Most were not yours they were simply imposed
And some you took up cause no one else would
You carried those burdens you carried those loads

Your song forgotten drowned by the noise
The work of your hands it brought you no joy
And each morning broke to labour ‘till dusk
Your song forgotten drowned by the noise

Then you found the music and sang it to me
I was still sleeping but my eyes could see
And I never seen you smile, the way you did then
When you found the music and sang it to me
