Lyrics
Seeking Wisdom
I left here as a young man (girl)
I left here seeking wisdom
I walked upon the crooked path
I carried many burdens
I come back so much older
But sadly none the wiser
This my benediction
Just a small depiction
Not a contradiction
Nor a degradation
Just a benediction
Without contradiction
Seven simple stones
Stand upon the plain
Mystic markers of our bones
Weeping in the rain
Seldom seen inside the wars
Crying for our hearts
I stepped outside one quiet night
And mother Mary she did cry
I saw a burning star hung high
And mother Mary she did cry
Soldiers strode across the sky
And mother Mary she did cry
This my benediction
Just a small depiction
Not a contradiction
Nor a degradation
Just my benediction
Without contradiction
