Live And Learn |
| Live and Learn |
| By Michael W. Smith & Wayne Kirkpatrick |
| On i 2 (EYE) (1988) |
| Never should have tasted that forbidden fruit |
| Tell me why do I always do What I don’t want to do Now, I’m the only reaper of the seeds that I sow |
| And when I walk the field of my stubborn will |
| It’s a hard row to hoe |
| There’s a price for getting smarter |
| So I pay what I owe |
| While bridges burn |
| Let the shadow fall behind me I am wiser I know |
| We live and learn |
| Always living and learning |
| Always living and learning |
| Is it out of the fire, back into the pan |
| Is once enough to let it all sink in or will I do it again |
| A time for understanding has now come of age |
| So I heed the word of the counselor and the voice of the sage |
| Try to see the meaning |
| Read between every line |
| When pages turn |
| There’ll be no room for explaining what has been well defined |
| We live and learn |
| Always living and learning |
| Always living and learning |
| An engaging temptation had me doing time |
| 'Cause when it starts a fire under strong desire |
| We are partners in crime |
| But hindsight is clearer |
| I can see where I’ve gone and never return |
| It’s a new man in the mirror |
| It’s a new freedom song to live and learn |
| Always living and learning |
| Always living and learning |
| Excerpt from «Mortality"by Willim Knox |
| Recited by Chris Harris |
| (ed: recited before the song |
| «'Tis the wink of an eye |
| 'Tis the draught of a breath |
| From the blossoms of health |
| To the pales of death |
| From the gilded saloon |
| To the burr in the shroud |
| Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?») |
