Discovery
Mr Wise Man, show me the way
I can't keep walking into walls all day
Quitting jobs wasn't easy but the reasons we're wrong
I felt like I was feeding King Kong
Left my life to help those that need it
Got mistreated, left, all to repeat it
The lessons are eternal they won't ever change,
That's your gift to me so that I won't be deranged.
So now that I have gotten better please give me my strength
My life is something that is losing it's length.
Mr Wise Man, show me the way
I can't keep walking into walls all day
Tolerance has always been my strongest feature,
Made me forget about every evil creature.
Test my limits all you want, I know it's vital
That is all a case of survival.
I don't know why I just keep trying
In the end I know I'll be dying.
My faith has been put to test
A test that will put me to rest
All the worlds I've been to
All the places I've gone through
Every single man woman and child
Every single one would make another mild
Stronger than the rest
This should make me the best
Or maybe it's best I don't know
Maybe it's best I just go
So Mr Wise Man, don't show me the way
I can't keep walking into walls all day
I'll walk my own path
