Lyrics Wiser and Weaker - Deniece Williams

Wiser and Weaker

If you ride on a plane
You could miss your destination
See the acid in rain
Falling down upon a nation
Wise in invention
And weak in intention
You’re the wiser
Then the weaker
There’s our rivers and streams
Water is not fit for drinking
We’re polluting our dreams
Isn’t anybody thinking, yeah
We’re wise in our dealings
But weak in our feelings, yeah
Is the planet’s fate
Just a chance we take
Ask yourself
Is it fair
What am I doing?
And do I really care?
Yeah
You’re the wiser
Then the weaker
You’re the wiser
(That's what you tell yourself)
Then the weaker
Help the sick and the old
Feed the people if they’re hungry
Sleep outside and they’re cold
More to life than making money, yeah
We’re wise in our power
Then weak in the hour
What we’re heading down
Has to go around
When are we all gone
Yeah
Tell me
What part of this would you like to go on?
You’re the wiser
Then the weaker
(Go on, yeah)
You’re the wiser
(You're the wiser)
Then the weaker
(Then you turn around and you’re weaker)
You’re the wiser
Then the weaker
(Weaker)
You’re the wiser
(Wiser, yeah)
Then the weaker
(Weaker, yeah)
What we’re heading down
Has to go around
When are we all gone?
Yeah
Tell me
What part of this would you like to go on?
You’re the wiser
Then the weaker
(Go on, yeah)
You’re the wiser
(You're the wiser)
Then the weaker
(Then you turn around and you’re weaker)
You’re the wiser
(Wiser, yeah)
Then the weaker
(Weaker, yeah)
You’re the wiser
(Wiser, yeah)
Then the weaker
(Weaker, yeah)
You’re the wiser
Then the weaker
You’re the wiser
Then the weaker
