Wise One
Lyrics by G. Gothard. Arranged by the Gothard Sisters.
Recorded on the Dragonfly album in 2021.
Oh wise one - what do you see?
Road to nowhere, night so crystal clear
Starlight winter - maybe I’m searching
Owls soaring over the trees
CHORUS
What can you see?
What do you know?
‘Cause I’d give anything to know what you know
Show me your ways for my cloudy days
A north star for finding where we are
‘Cause I’m hoping to grow
Into a wise one
Oh
Into a wise one
Oh
Oh wise one - wiser than me
Urgent whisper, wilder than the wind
Swift and silent - indigo feathers
Secret courage, send me a sign
CHORUS
What can you see?
What do you know?
‘Cause I’d give anything to know what you know
Show me your ways for my cloudy days
A north star for finding where we are
‘Cause I’m hoping to grow
Into a wise one
Oh
Into a wise one
Oh
The more I grow, the less I know
Except that life is beautiful, but strange
The more I grow, the less I know
That nothing is predictable, but change
… and maybe the journey of life is in the wondering…
Oh wise one - shine ever on
Owls soaring, resilient and strong
Friendly smiles - when we’re together
Music soaring, brightness of dawn
CHORUS
What can you see?
What do you know?
‘Cause I’d give anything to know what you know
Show me your ways for my cloudy days
A north star for finding where we are
‘Cause I’m hoping to grow
Into a wise one
Oh
Into a wise one
Oh
