Wisdom is a 1986 American crime film. It was written and directed by its star, Emilio Estevez, in his filmmaking debut. The film also stars Demi Moore, along with Tom Skeritt and Veronica Cartwright as Estevez's parents. Emilio dedicated the film to the memory of his friend Henry Proach. The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox. The end credits song is "Home Again" by Oingo Boingo and the score by Danny Elfman.
The film was not popular with critics; Leonard Maltin considered it "wretchedly scripted, with one of the most self-defeating wrap-ups you'll ever see." In March 2009 Warner Bros. announced Wisdom would be available as one of the films in its special "Warner Archive" promotion. The film could be special ordered on DVD or downloaded directly to PC.
John Wisdom (Estevez) is a young man just out of college. He's branded a felon after a grand theft auto conviction on the night of his high school graduation, and as a result can't hold down a decent job. Seeing little future for himself, Wisdom takes a left turn: he becomes a criminal "for the people," evocative of Robin Hood. After seeing news reports about all the impoverished farmers and working class being sent to the bank to pay ownership debts, Wisdom goes on a bank robbing spree with his girlfriend, Karen (Moore); they erase loan and mortgage records, buying time for the poor to pay their debts. With the FBI after them, things take a turn for the worse when a panicky Karen murders a local sheriff. She and Wisdom make a run for the Canadian border, but when Karen is shot by a police helicopter, Wisdom leaves her in the care of some university medical students. He resumes his flight, but is surrounded by police and federal agents at a college football field. As Wisdom appears to be reaching for his gun, he is riddled with gunfire and dies.

Before stars in the sky

You were there
Wisdom, teach me what is right
Wisdom, come and give me sight
Wisdom, come and be my light
My light
You are the voice of truth
That is just and right
A shield to the faithful
A sword for the fight
A path for the wise
And those who desire You
More than silver or gold
Will find understanding
Within the soul
For You are there
Wisdom, teach me what is right
Wisdom, come and give me sight
Wisdom, come and be my light
(music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1973)
Instrumental from the album DIAMOND GIRL (1973).
One man's playing piano and one man's drooling on the
floor
And one man's making missiles 'cause he wants to
prevent a world war
One man's disadvantaged just because his skin is black
And one man's children starve to death but not the
idiot savants
No - not the idiot savants
No - it can never be the idiot savants
One man o.d.'ed on New Year's Eve
His dealer too happy to grieve
One man killed and another held out (the idiot savants)
Stupid wisdom is what this world's about.
We're so wise -so knowing -so understanding
The questions of life are so undemanding
So we grope and we hope that we'll find an answer
I must be an idiot or just one hell of a dancer
This one sings like an angel but she can't tie her
shoes
But this one likes everybody -he just can't stand to
hear the news
So what if my cousin's on the street
There's someone there to help him
This one don't wanna take care of the other two (the
idiot savant)
'cause he's thinking of things he'd rather do
One man o.d.'ed on New Year's Eve
His dealer too happy to grieve
One man killed and another held out (the idiot savants)
Stupid wisdom is what this world's about
This guy can't even write his name
That lady thinks she's going insane
This time I'll find another home
We are slaves in the hands of fate
From the cradle to the grave
Sense of freedom is made of false
Illusions of hope
Now the time has come little child
Come along with me for a while
Climb the mountain high to the ruins
Up there I will tell you the truth
We are alone
Nobody cares for us oh anymore
We are the hopeless souls
Where do we go?
All around you see the decay
Everything is fading away
War, disaster, fatal disease
Rape the lands and poison the seas
Something I never understand
Who decides on life and death
Day by day when a newborn dies
Nobody hears our cries
You, my boy, do you hear my word
Welcome to the real world
We are dust in the endless space
Fallin' away from grace
We are slaves in the hands of fate
From the cradle to the grave
Sense of freedom is made of false
Illusions of hope
Sometimes Fate is the name of those
Who are chosen to destroy
They can kill in a thousand ways
In their power games
Fallin' away
Fallin' away
We are alone
"All hope abandon, ye who enter here!"
/DANTE ALIGHIERI/
Since I was born I have never before
Seen Daemon's eyes
One day I thought I can seek the forest
Search deep inside
Time has gone by as I wandered too far
Darkness and cold
Led me to run but I realized there's
Nowhere to go
If only I could find a way
The way to peace of mind
If only I was born again to turn back time
I wanna lie on a cloud in the sky
Lie with a blindfold over my eyes
Fadin' away till the old Man of Fate
Opens the Heaven's Gate
How I got home, I can only recall
Those eyes and smell
Some people say I have sold my soul and
Will go to Hell
I believe in Heaven, my soul will never die
I believe in afterlife
Strange little deal with the Evil of all
I hoped that my spirit will never fall
I've nothing more but this story to tell
There's radiation in the air
It's hotter than the time of year
We maybe need to shed a layer and calm down
How about we disappear, leave it all, get out of here
Wash your face and start again, give us a break
And take the blame and leave it
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but I want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
Fire in the air tonight, fire burns behind your eyes
Took you to the dizzy heights and then you calmed down
How about we learn to drink, freaking out and suffering
A couple more, we hit the floor and that's your lot,
I don't recall you keeping
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but I want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
I sit all night to watch you cry, and gut your insides
I sit all night to watch you cry, i got your insides
Waiting for days, waiting to break
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you always waiting for you
HEY! but i want you to know
Making me pay, breaking away
Don't want to hurt nobody
Waiting for you, always waiting for you
You are alone holding a candle
This night is long, lasts forever
And if you are screaming for someone
Nobody's there, you're the last one
Here inside
Welcome to the nightmare of Silent Hill
Life is more than fantasy
Better look around when the night is near
Something evil's here
Lost in the night, the powers of darkness
Eat you alive don't be mindless
You never know what is behind you
Run for your life, no more time to
Waste and cry
Time is still down in Silent Hill
Silence kills, something evil's here
Welcome to the nightmare of Silent Hill
Life is more than fantasy
Never be alone when the night is near
Senseless life
I'm born into a world so cold
I cannot understand
Why the fate has chosen me
I'm born as a living dead
Useless youth
I dream about a world beyond
I feel so helpless
Cause something's breeding inside of me
My life is fading with every day
The sands of time
Running fast
My life is near, near its end
With a soul of a child
Imprisoned in a body
Hundreds of years old
Love of my life
You are the love, of my life
You are the love in my life, my life
You are the love in my life, in my life
You are the love in my life, my life
With God control, I take a photo of the globe
like a space probe, let your tape roll to roll
My ways of life shine purple rays of light
Ways that are right take long days and night
Then I enter wind, there's no interfere
No sense of care, tense at the prayer
Then we exalt like ci-ties of Leba-nese
Drop with heaven-ness, must be heaven sent
Left with evidence, ever since you left
seventh prince, and the pleasant scent of sweet smells
Exhale, I'm as deep as a well
Watch Priest prevail by fear and love
Lifts off through the air like a dove above
the star circuits, where Allah is perfect
It lies like an olive tree, woman follow me
through the galazies, just acknowledge me
We'll walk the calorie across the Sea of Galilee
I give you rubies, for your beauty, you look
as fine as jewelry, I chose the finest your highness
I chose the finest your highness
You see my instructions, are not silver
In knowledge forever then choice gold
For wisdom is better than rubies
And all the things that may be desired
are not to be compared to it
Our wisdom, will dwell with punics
You're my one and only, during our holy matrimony
attract my homies, subtract the phonies
What it manifold, make a man explode
Love episode, give me rest when I'm old
So clear and unbefouled, plus runnin wild
Caught you as a child, brought you under clouds
Never earthquakes when I'm home from work late
Never forget your birthdate, I love you
Damn your understandin have me hunger like a famine
Prepare for landin.. for landin.. for landin..
Abortin the River Jordan like a RZA recordin
4th Disciple, bring forth the cycle
or a tidal wave, it's like a B.I.B.L.E. page
Don't you wanna cry, everyone is sliding
Living like the end will never come!
Don't you wanna cry, everything is burning
Bring it on ourselves and thats no lie!
O Lord! Feeling like the faith don't need the sky, yeah
Your Lord! Shaking down with fire to ease your pain
O Lord! Give us Wishdom, Wishdom
Give us Freedom, Freedom
Make Us See! Please Please Please
O Lord! Give us Wishdom, Wishdom
Not religion, Freedom
To be Free! To be Free!
Don't you wanna hide, everyone is fighting
You don't like it they don't wanna run!
Don't you wanna find every white solution
Thrying to make all them fools believe your lie!
Yo'Lord! Feeling like the foe don't need to worry!
You'Lordy! Felling like the foe don't need a friend!
O lord, Give us Wisdom, Wisdom
Give us Freedom, Freedom
Make us See, Please Please Please
O Lord, Give us Wisdom, Wisdom
Give us Freedom, Freedom
To believe, To be free
When your love is down, you got nothin' at all, no no no
It's all about Money
It's all about Cars
It's all about Tits and Ass
And a Fable of Love
And it's sweet Entice!
Holy Men of Faith
Argue to get down!
Suckin' on a Lie!
Hold that Sword!
Please Lord Lord
Please Lord Lord, come down!
O Lord, Give us Wisdom, Wisdom
Give us Freedom, Freedom
Make us See, Please Please Please
O Lord Give us Wisdom, Wisdom
Not Religion, Freedom
The pain I'm taking we're crying in the leaky ground
Your Light Lord, Living on the Wisdom we need to bad
Please Lord, Wisdom! Please Lord, Freedom! Please Lord, Wisdom! Please Lord, Freedom!
Hard to find my way
And the days go by
Many years were wasted
I can't turn back the time
Voices in my head
Make me feel so low
Lately I've been thinking
More about my home
No more aimless wandering
No more lazing around
Everything I had
I have thrown away
Oh my God, have mercy
Can't you feel my pain?
Now I understand
All the things you told
Father, please forgive me
I am coming home
No more aimless wondering
Let me lay in your arms
Take me back into your heart
Open your heart
Open your heart
Mist covers the weeping summer trees
Moonbeams shine through the dark of the sky
I want all of this dream to cover me
Shaking while the blackness brings the night
Water flowing through my fingers
Covering me in wisdom
I am free tonight
Somewhere in the shadows are the wolves
Just beginning to wake and learn the dance
In the forest we hear
A whispering clear
Speaking to us
Spirits circling me
So high in the trees
I can see them
Will the morning bring fear
Or are we here
Have we finally learned?
Something nearer to me
(lyrics written and sung by Kristy Thirsk)
To others the pain was obvious
The colours of shame a bruise - unjust
Abuse of trust can't be wiped
I can't remember why
I chose to say goodbye
I'm terrified of what
I might have severed
I tried to forget the drowning truth
Lashing inside my sea of youth
Life seemed a fair sacrifice for peace
I can't remember why
I chose to say goodbye
I'm terrified of what
I might have severed
I ended up too high
But never learned to fly
So coming down
Through timeless change in my dreams
I am closer from ageless memories, long ago
To enlightened frontiers I'll take you there
Oh, mystic child, together where ever we fly
Somehow I feel like I'm going through changes
And sometimes I wake up still dreaming
Only a lifetime can fill the pages
A story of wisdom for all
Through shadows past into life
Came a sorcerer, unchained his energy, running free
The wisdom inside will be a force in time
We'll carry on together whenever we die
Somehow I feel like I'm going through changes
And sometimes I wake up still dreaming
Only a lifetime can fill the pages
A story of wisdom for all
A force in time we'll carry on
Together whenever we die
Somehow I feel like I'm going through changes
And sometimes I wake up still dreaming
Only a lifetime can fill the pages
wherefore i praised the dead
which are already dead,
more than the living
which are yet alive.
yea, better is he than both they,
which hath not yet been,
who hath not seen the evil work
that is done under the sun
(Ecclesiastes 4:2-3)
for in much wisdom is much grief :
and he that increaseth knowledge
increaseth sorrow
Rise
Pure Right Thoughts
At The First Hour
Of Our Civilization
But Now Wisdom Has
Been Transformed
In Dark Ages Of
Incomprehension
Politicians Defend
Their Ways, Who
Resolves Human Race
Problems?
Instinct Of Survival
Metamorphosis Of
Human Spirit Like
Jackal Spirit
Dead, That'S The Way
I See It
Ideological Promise
Woooooah! Woah yeah nah.
I will open my mouth in a parable, and sing the dark sayings of old.
And much wisdom and knowledge stretch forth their hands,
Unto you, o children, I cry.
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell.
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail!
Ooooh, ooooh, woah yeah yeah nah nah, oh yeah. Ooooh, woahohoh yeah.
In laughter the heart is sorrowful
Your folly is your reward.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than feasting where there is wrath.
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell.
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail! Woah yeah now now... Woah... yeah! Oooohhh ooh yeah... oh yeah now:
So take heed Jah-people, and live upright, for this is the time that will tell.
When the righteous ones shall stand up strong,
Oh why did the heathen rage?
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell!
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail!
Woah yeah now... mmmmm... Oh yeah, said you will surely fail! Oh yeah now... mmmm... Oh yeah now...
So I will open my mouth in a parable, and sing the dark sayings of old.
So much wisdom and knowledge stretch forth their hands,
Unto you, o children, I cry!
All the words of my mouth speak righteousness,
All the days of my life will tell!
Take heed of the words of Jehovah, or men you will surely fail!
Ooooh mmmmm. Oh yeah now mmmmm. Oooooooh mmmmmmmm. Woah yeah now now,
Night is falling, the sun goes down
Fireflies awake
In the darkness of the forest
We are together again
Night is falling, the sun goes down
Fireflies awake
In the darkness of the forest
We are together again
Far away in a secret place
For the chosen ones
Where the wise man shows the right and
True way of living for us
Judas, a liar, a king for a day
He's gonna give us away
Judas, a liar, a rose with a thorn
He's not the same anymore
There is a time when you need to decide
Have to be strong and need to be wise
A deal with the devil will lead you to Hell
Fire of fear awaits you there
Fire lights up the faces now
By the torches' flame
Ghostly cries are heard, his eyes are
Burning with demonic rage
He's a man with a darkened soul
Hunting for his prey
In the night-time at the right time
He's gonna take one away
Demons and shades of the night
Thy wish is my command
Evil in me never dies
I have no choice
I can't find the way
Out of the storm
I can't break the chains
In my heart of stone
No more words to say
Damage is done
We were all the same
But those days are gone
Judas, a liar, a king for a day
I'm just a man not a saint
Judas, a liar, a rose with a thorn
Why don't you leave me alone?
To others the pain was obvious The colours of shame a bruise - unjust
Abuse of trust can't be wiped
I can't remember why I chose to say goodbye I'm terrified of what I
might have severed
I tried to forget the drowning truth Lashing inside my sea of youth
Life seemed a fair sacrifice for peace
I can't remember why I chose to say goodbye I'm terrified of what I
might have severed
I ended up too high But never learnt to fly
I see a multitude of people
Some far away and some close by
They weave together new religion
From tiny remnants they have found
A bit of truth, a greater lie
And all the prophets stand and sing a pleasant song
A million cords that bind the spirit growing strong
My heart is breaking
I must remind them
You are the only way
You are the only voice
You are the only hope
You are the only choice
You are the one true God
No matter what we say
You are the breath of life
You are the only way
Give us wisdom
Give us wisdom
There is a moment of decision
But all the days go rushing by
An undercurrent of confusion
To threaten all that we believe
With little time to wonder why
And all the prophets sing the same familiar song
Even the chosen can be led to sing along
These hearts are breaking
Will you remind us
You are the only way
You are the only voice
You are the only hope
You are the only choice
You are the one true God
No matter what we say
You are the breath of life
You are the only way
Give us wisdom
Give us wisdom
You choose the simple things to overcome the wise
Wisdom is granted in the name of Jesus Christ
In the name of Jesus Christ
You are the only way
You are the only voice
You are the only hope
You are the only choice
You are the one true God
No matter what we say
You are the breath of life
We need You here today
(You are the only way)
Give us wisdom
Long before I came into this world
All have heard the fortune-teller's word
Of a lone man in the prophecy
He was me, the Man of Destiny
When I look around it's a no man's land
Blood is everywhere, I stand
Somewhere alone far from my home
God from the high heavens saved my soul
Somewhere alone down to the bone
Hardly alive anymore
Bodies lying all over the ground
Mothers crying, death is all around
I am just a puppet on a string
Fighting for the power of a king
I don't wanna fight to the end of time
Obey like a fool and die
Maybe I was born to kill
Cause misery and death
Maybe I was made to be
Another day is here to knock me down
Another day I start it with a frown
But I pull myself together
I've got to find out what I'm supposed to do
But I don't really have a clue
Got a very narrow view
A search for wisdom, it's not so easy to find
A search for wisdom, never seem to end
A search for wisdom, It's not so easy to find
A search for wisdom, never seem to end
And I'm getting tired
This is the way I'm bound to spend my days
Trying to find a way out of this maze
Time no good
Wisdom no good
Patience no good
To me any more
Now night has fallen on the stair
Some things you do you can never repair
Seems I'm always pretending
Things aren't there when they are
And the leaves are nearly off the trees
The traffic thick past yellow windows
And I'm lost inside the frozen headlights
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
And the afternoon's filled with storm and rain
I'm staring out of this metal train
Thinking of you
And the trees are looking like bones
The afternoon filled with rain and storm
And I'm tangled up in memory's thorns
No way through
Trees like bones, yellow windows
"All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be
alone"
[BRUYÃRE]
I'm full of so many thoughts
Poisoned emotions of those
Glorious days and the pain
Leads me to go insane
I raise my eyes to the sky
Slowly as time is passing by
Try to look deep in my soul
To understand it all
Time will change, change us all
Through this human age
We can all lie all alone, hide
Maybe we need some days
We can all lie all alone, hide
Time is gonna heal our pains
I wipe the tears from my eyes
I'll find the strength to arise
Please really don't get me wrong
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
I hate to live my powerless life
Sometimes I fear every toll of the bell
I am between Heaven and Hell
Some other times I am so high
Just like an eagle high in the sky
Joy in my soul and I have more
Pleasure than I had ever before
And when the angel is not on my side
I wish my anger out of my mind
Another day is another in Hell
This is my fate trouble and care
I wanna live, throw it away
I wanna be somebody again
Let my life go, I need to know
Nothing is easy, nothing at all
Time has come to rule my life
Find some peace of mind
Heaven and Hell, trouble and care
Dark and dreamless nights
Trouble and care, Heaven and Hell
Time to say goodbye
Walking the lonely road
On the way I've never known
Close to a dark forest
Cool wind takes me down to rest
Under the open sky
Facing the stars
Careless and easy life
I don't want to leave behind
And as I fall asleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Rays of the morning sun
Chasing the dark
Wake me and warm me up
In my heart
Wander the world, come and go
Sometimes it feels like so long ago
Wander the world, come and go
Leaving my way to the Lord
Walking the lonely road
Places I have never known
Slowly across the fields
Through the valleys and the hills
Maybe a day when I
Get to the end
I'll have to take my life
In my hand
Wander the world, come and go
Sometimes it feels like so long ago
Wander the world, come and go
There is some kind of mystery
In this land we live
A thousand years in our history
Taught us to believe
We never know
What the future has in store
'Till the end of time
We are all
Ready to die, never give up the fight
Leading our nation into the light
Ready to fall in this battle we call
Live forevermore
In spite of many dangers and
Destructions of war
In this land, wherever we stand
Everything is gold
We never know
What is in the crystal ball
While we are alive
we scintillate like cedar stones
in plasma veil as ancient ones
in cold war years you were my fears
but just to gain the power to reign
satan's bllod in our veins
the pigfaced mud will be slayn
but noone dies when blackseas dry
and noone kill. forever this will
our wisdom be
now you're asking
what are you living for
no sense of life
and none afterwards
what I call wisdom is a flower
that can seldom be found
but not in illusions
you only use to find
Alll those failed attempts
Against reality's glare
Patience only gets one so far
We'll fail by design
With no lack ofmotive
Rising in vain
Against the same blank wall
Go release yourself
From the clutches of hope
And get locked up in the same old circle
Disintegrate
Disappear
Dissipate
You were just a shadow of your past
Incinerate
Emulate
Elevate
You're starting to care less with every chance
I'm ready now to accept my fate
And bleed the tears I'll never understand
Arm your words
With shards of nails
Disintegrate
Disappear
Dissipate
You were just a shadow of your past
Incinerate
Emulate
Elevate
You're starting to care less with every chance
The universe is yours
Even if it's an empty one
Your words are yours
Even if they're blank
The truth is yours
Even if it lies
And your time is up
The road is long
You're gonna get thrown about
Stick to the rhythm
Breathe it in and breath it out
Do what you do, there isn't any secret
Chop wood, draw water, roll cigarettes
Find a lover, put a flower in her hair
Climb a mountain, see the mountain disappear
Be the first to go back to the ghost town
Break bread with the man that's gonna bring you down
Deep, deep down
I listen and I hear what's said
I follow it from a to zed
But wisdom hasn't found me yet
You're feeling scared, Jesus is your bodyguard
You feel alone, take a look in your backyard
Put your eye to the eye of a telescope
The universe looks back through a microscope
Adopt a highway, dress yourself in camel hair
A wasted life is a life lived unaware
Make money, put it on a number eight
Tempt fate, maybe you're a wheel goin' round
Round and round
I listen and I hear what's said
I follow it from a to zed
Wisdom it is more precious than silver
Wisdom it is more precious than gold than gold
Wisdom it is more precious than diamonds
Wisdom it protect I man soul (proverbs 3:13-18, 8:10-11)
Jah jah say;
Come unto me as a child for such are the great within his holy kingdom (luke 18:15-17)
For the simple things jah chose to raise up as the wise (1 cor 1:27)
For what is revealed to the babes and suckling is hidden far from wise eyes (matt 11:25)
Because wisdom from the Lord is first of all pure, then peace loving considerate, impartial, humble and merciful james 3:17)
Let he who is wise among you prove it by living a good life, by deeds done in humility just as our Lord Jesus Christ. (james 3:13)
Chorus
So my son, take heed to the wisdom that I utter from I mouth I mouth
(Prov 4:1, 20)
Will you please shout it out east west north and south
And south and south
Wisdom is a compass that guides me towards jah (prov 23:19)
Protects me from the traps and the snares of the future (prov 4:11-12)
The wisdom that is of soloman ooooh oooh oooh oooh
Give I guidance ay hey hey hey
The faith of father abraham ooooh oooh oooh oooh
Gives I assurance ay hey hey hey
Wisdom cries out hear her voice upon the streets
In the gateways of the city she makes her speech
(Proverbs 1:20-21)
If any of you lacks in wisdom let him ask of jah
Who gives to all man generously without reproach
And it shall be given to him
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
The lips of the righteous feed many
But fools die for want of wisdom (prov 10:21)
My wisdom is knowledge and overstanding
Take heed to my instruction and my correction
Listen to my words and your days will be many
Utter sufferance if you give them rejection
Wisdom preserves the life of it's owner (prov 3:2)
Keep I safe from hurt and harm
Standing taller and stronger than the cedars of lebanon
Used in building the holy temple of Jerusalem
In my forehead, a sheet of lead
Was seeping through holes of power-hammers
My cracked spirit sank into a heavenly wave
A cloud of ether discharged the ballast
A rainbow with gloomy glints
Emerged out of a split of velvet
Then all veiled...
As if a lobotomy was overcoming me!
Since they have cut my tongue
Another 's walking in my head
Following the scattering
Of misunderstood saliva
Cut hand grows up again longer
Tail of lizard tracked in a lemon clearness
Gouged out eyes are born again in my back
Eye of chameleon mottled in a rouge of meat
Hey Mary, have you bought the ten pounds
Of tomatoes at the supermarket?
My cracked spirit sank into a heavenly wave
Soon I'll hear the sound of my life
Soon I'll see the edge of my life
Soon I'll sniff the smel of my life
Life is a journey that you must take my son
Take care and live it well because there's only one
Remember there's a purpose that you were meant to be
You have a heart, you have a mind, you are humanity
Listen!
Challenges will come
Storms will rage against your heart
Face them and be strong
Face them and be strong!
A lifetime of learning is what I give you
When you make a choice in life, be sure to think it through
Wisdom holds a treasure of knowledge in her hands
Take care and love her well, you'll be a better man
Listen!
Learn to understand
Use the gifts that you possess
Find your destiny
Dare to live your dreams
Challenges will come
Storms will rage against your heart
Face them and be strong
Face them and be strong!
Watch your back, protect your mind
Always keep your objectives clear till the day you die
Find your destiny
Dare to live your dreams
Pain will come, tears will fall
Guard your heart, keep your vision clear, rise above it all
Find your destiny
Dare to live your dreams
Find your destiny
Can't you feel the hunger that's growing in your heart?
Let your gifts consume you, let them tear your fears apart
Hear the voice of reason that's calling from the sky
'Lord, make me to know mine end,And the measure of my
days,
What it is; that I may know
How frail I am'
/OLD TESTAMENT/
Time goes by
Like a fly
Flyin' through the sky
Sands of time
Runnin' out
Make the most of life

CHORUS;
She's so beautiful but she's unlucky
Every night she looks alright
But she can keep the secret
Bow for her name
Rise and shine
Baby you've got the look.*2
1st VERSE;
A time to rise a time to go
Baby comer i mean no danger
A risen soul but unlucky
Lonely marked with a daily hope
Painted black,a legacy nooo
I don;t know whats dark and bright
She cries out loud,Lord help me
She's so beautiful but she;s unlucky
Yeah yeah yeah...
CHORUS;

BACKGROUND;wisdom am om oooh
2ND VERSE;
Her touching eyes,lonely hopes
For a better girl like you
Intimacy living,traumatizing
Only you can take the road
Come Monday come that
No place to go
Why why why why
Who's losing?isn't she
Stop calling coz she's got
Something better better.
A thousand heavy years ago
When the cross led the crown
Thousands had to fear the law
And the spies all around
Holy wars, glory calls
In the name of the Lord
No remorse, no recourse
In the eye of the law
Age of lies, will the sun ever rise?
Show the way into the light
Age of lies, will you open your eyes?
Inquisition's still alive
Nowadays in the world of fools
Everything is the same
Right way is against the rules
Human greed is to blame
Age of lies, will the sun ever rise?
Show the way into the light
Age of lies, will you open your eyes?
Inquisition's still alive
Rays of sunrise
New age, new life
Rays of sunrise
All is uncertain even to the happy one
Action is what defeats reason
Everything is valid for the winner
Passions sharpen smartness
With your veins
In the skies
Seeing claims
Dancing lies
On the flames
Mortal flies
Fright can be seen in the face
Evil opposes another evil
Love extinguishes another love
Appearance is what hurts
In this land of dreamers
Time forgets reality
In this field of soldiers
Grief puts out sincerity
In this net of sinners
Wisdom shows the tyranny
Virtue doesn't fear abundance
Justice doesn't suffer from injustice
Kismet goes ahead without compassion
It's necessary to learn to die
I once knew a wise man
He took his last stand
On a hill
Surrounded by his lovers
On a pill
So he could rediscover
The way
That his brain worked
That day
He wore the same shirt
He had worn
Every day of his life
Collar torn
He twisted in the knife
Into his own gut
The blood
Came out in a flood
Onto the hill
It splashed across his lovers
What a kill
He wanted them to suffer
Hard to find my way
And the days go by
Many years were wasted
I can't turn back the time
Voices in my head
Make me feel so low
Lately I've been thinking
More about my home
No more aimless wandering
No more lazing around
Everything I had
I have thrown away
Oh my God, have mercy
Can't you feel my pain?
Now I understand
All the things you told
Father, please forgive me
I am coming home
No more aimless wondering
Let me lay in your arms
Take me back into your heart
Open your heart
In the presence of a young and mysterious, attractive fortune-teller I had my future laid out before me in detailed descriptions.
The wind was howling outside, but I felt safe and warm – on this night.
Her emerald eyes shone directly through me when she said:
"When I put down the tarot cards, I look at your desires, wishes and an urge for acceptance."
The interior of her small compartment seemed to melt into the density of the air.
I couldn’t help staring into those penetrating eyes.
She took my hand in her own and spoke into the air:
"When I read into the palm of your hand, I see a spark of desire, submission, chaos and intolerance."
I vanished in the gypsy woman’s hazel green eyes… couldn’t resist to let her have my inner self.
The eroticism of it all is still a mystery to me.
She had a sad look upon her beautiful face as she whispered to me:
"When I gaze into the crystal ball, I see your secret desires, greed, perfect wisdom, lust and degradation –
