Words Of Wisdom Lyrics

In pages worn by hands of time

Where voices echo thoughts align

We find the wisdom poets share

A legacy beyond compare

Yeats a soul with dreams to weave

With words of gold he did believe

In fragile hopes and whispered fears

In love that lasts beyond the years

Words of wisdom of color and rhyme

Gifts given that stand the test of time

I would spread the cloths under your feet:

But I being poor have only my dreams;

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams

And Carroll played in realms of thought

With creatures wild with battles fought

He twisted words he turned the key

Unlocking doors to mystery

Words of wisdom of color and rhyme

Gifts given that stand the test of time

Beware the Jabberwock my son!

The jaws that bite the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird and shun

The frumious Bandersnatch!

And then Shelley warned of power's might

Of kingdoms lost in endless night

Where once a king declared his fame

Now only ruins bear his name

Words of wisdom of color and rhyme

Gifts given that stand the test of time

My name is Ozymandias King of Kings;

Look on my Works ye Mighty and despair!

Nothing beside remains Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck boundless and bare

So find the poems that speak to you

The lines that bring old worlds anew

Let poets' voices guide your way

And keep their words with you each day
