Wise Old Me Songtext

And I know hot things ought to be
I ain't blind but sure don't see
Why no one listens to wise old me

One day I said to me
Let's teach a bird to swim
So I climbed way up a tree
And I went out on a limb

Found a bird, we talked
And I pointed to the sea
And that bird just sang to me
That bird just sang to me

As sure as clouds live in the sky
There's a place for you and I
If you don't learn to let things be
You'll find your wise self up a tree

Now, please do not be frightened By the things that sound absurd
As how man can be enlightened
By the wisdom of a bird
And so can you, so let it be
A lesson for today
And may I never hear you say
May I never hear you say

No one listens to wise old me
And I know hot things ought to be
I ain't blind but sure don't see
Why no one listens to wise old me

No one listens to wise old me
