Wise Man

A wise man said to me

Give all your love for free

And what you're given in return

Is more than you can earn

And when you're ready to find real wealth

Put another before yourself

Cause it's lonely at the top

Until we all have got a spot

Hey now, would you like a seat?

You been walking for a while

Do you need something to drink?

I've been waiting on a smile

Just to see what you would think

It's the closest thing to magic

That my eyes have ever seen

Oh lord, my life feels so complete

A little bit of salt

With a little bit of sweet

And a whole lotta laughs

Wrapped up in family

Yeah I'm stepping on the gas

Til my dreams aren't in my sleep, yeah

A wise man said to me

Give all your love for free

And what you're given in return

Is more than you can earn

And when you're ready to find real wealth

Put another before yourself

Cause it's lonely at the top

Until we all have got a spot

Oh boy, I'm turning up the heat

Gotta keep it buzzin'

Like a busy bee working in the street

Cause I find that nothing is the something

That I need to be complete

Yeah, I'm rolling to the rhythm

Of a never ending beat, yeah

OK, love is all you need

Everybody says it but the doing's incomplete

There's a million lonely people that are ready to receive

Don't be afraid, there's a person out there that you're about to meet

Yeah

There's not enough fancy things

Not enough gold or diamond rings

No amount of money could ever buy

The evening glow or the nighttime sky

And when it all comes to an end

And all that's left is love and friends

And all the things you loved so much

Will always be a part of us

A wise man said to me

Give all your love for free

And what you're given in return

Is more than you can earn

And when you're ready to find real wealth

Put another before yourself

Because it's lonely at the top

Until we all have got a spot
