WISDOM OF YOUTH

It can get you to go higher
Higher than you ever thought you'd go
Wheel you in a spiral
On a journey to the great unknown
Where nature and her forces
Constitute the only truth
I love it most of all
The wisdom of youth

It can spur you on to greatness
To triumph over ever-nagging fears
To overcome all obstacles
The vision of your destination clear
And it lets you choose the reckless
And oftentimes the most dangerous route
I love it most of all
The wisdom of youth

I wish I had it back again
The urge to sip from every mountain stream
Where every season promises
A host of golden, open-ended dreams
And every morning's joyful
With the prospect of days and nights to come
I love it most of all
The wisdom of the young

O beautiful innocence
O wisdom of youth
Will you walk with me a while
Down laneways walled with summer fruits

And in the silence of the evening
We'll look west, at the last light of the sun
Fading away
I love it most of all
The wisdom of the young
Its the gods' honest truth
You can't bate the youth
The gods' honest truth
