Listen, to the wisdom of the ages

Listen, to the words of many sages



Live each day, as if it were your last

It's written in the stars, your destiny is cast

And that hourglass, runs too fast no doubt

For the sands of time are running out



Listen, to the wisdom of the ages

These words, can be found in history's pages



Live each day, for happiness can't wait

And love while you may, but heed the hand of fate

If the finger points, it's too late no doubt

For the sands of time, are running out

But the man who turns, and escapes somehow



Is the wisest of men

And to such a man, I'd bow
