Student Of The World lyrics

To take heed and listen

The wonders of the world

A place full of curiousities

Lost in a false sense grown

A sense of frailty and fear

Ignorance and ego override

A time when everything was

Everything once all so special

Those moments of speaking

Small talk to deny silence

Avoiding discomfort learned

A universe self centralized

So many wonders in the word

So many things to learn, to know

A thousand lifetimes insufficient

Libraries left, books untouched

No time for trivialities of power

Fragilities of all more understood

An open mind ever absorbing

Has no time for faulted thoughts

The forlorn perceptions kept

Brought on in idleness known

A force destructive, impeding

Transforming children to adult

Such a saddened rite of passage

So easily rendered malingering

Excuses find no feeble host

Unknown by a student of the world
