I'm asking you for wisdom
I'm asking you for guidance
I'm asking you for wisdom
I'm asking you for guidance
What wisdom do you have for me?
Knows that I'm a positive person
Or at least, I hope that it shows
I'll admit, I've taken lots of hits
But I roll with the blows
It's strengthened my back
It's hard to shoulder the load
A couple straws break the camel's back
With a smile brighter than a photo
And as I roll on this road
Out here showing me the ropes
I wanted to be free of the ghosts
Memories, family and friends
That don't make me feel as though I'm so alone
I'm asking you for wisdom
I'm asking you for guidance
I'm asking you for wisdom
I'm asking you for guidance
What wisdom do you have for me?
Being optimistic, has got me twisted
I'm lost in thinking that
If there's a point to all this
Whilst running through life so fast
That I've often missed it
And not stopped to properly listen
Now, I'm no stranger to making the wrong decision
But I also don't want to blinded by my optimism
And essentially write a whole book where the plot is missing
So to ensure, I've not lost my vision, I tune into the message
A palm tree is singing...
I'm asking you for wisdom
I'm asking you for guidance
I'm asking you for wisdom
I'm asking you for guidance
What wisdom do you have for me?
So why do I stare at a palm tree out my window?
Truth be told, it's about catharsis
It allows me to assess my goals and
Realign where my heart is
Pick apart these items on my task list
And whilst my mind comes alive in sweet silence
I remember that in a crumbling world
You can either fall down with it
Or be alive in the carnage...
Sitting here staring at this
