Knowledge

I look at you but I don't speak 
Your eyes tell lies your mouth don't speak 

The things you say they cut so deep
Your words are strong, they make me weak 

I turn to you for what I seek
From what I hear, we're all sheep

The knowledge I require is so divine 
That after its acquired I age like wine

I turn to you for wealth of knowledge 
And in return I've gained some courage 

I ask of you some words of wisdom 
To take with me to thy kingdom 

I will not stop I will not sleep 
Until the day we're no longer sheep
