I prayed a prayer for wisdom just like a farmer prays for rain
`Cause I know that I must have it to survive in this life
And I stared out in the distance `cause it seemed so far away
And I waited for the lightning But the lightning and the thunder never came
So I took a look beside me to my left and to my right And saw people full of wisdom all around in my life
And it started to come clearer I began to understand
That my prayer was being answered, it`s all part of God`s plan
CHORUS
If we walk with the wise we will grow wise ..wo ..wo
If we walk in the light then our path will be bright I know
There`s someone who`s already been where we must go In the light of what they`ve learned we find
That we will grow wise if we walk with the wise
I`ve learned to look for answers in those born before my time
As I listen to them tell me what they`ve learned in their lives
I talk to friends with understanding much deeper than my own
And gain wisdom beyond measure I could never find alone
(Chorus)
BRIDGE
One life can be a candle with wisdom as its fire
And every life touches with its flame is set ablaze
