lyrics

Wise is the man who makes his own road
And listens to no man what he’s been told
An old boney man climbs an old boney tree
As he jumps from the top he just breaks his old boney knees
And go to the place that no eye has seen
If you happen to die, your spirit is free
So, go to the top of the world and scream
If you happen to fall, get back on your feet, kid
Your faith must be strong to finally leave
But you don’t become wise by just wanting to be
So push back the boundaries wherever they be
It’s smarter to listen, but wiser to see.
