Lessons of Consequence
A blind man taught me how to see
A deaf man taught me how to sing
The heartless lady showed me how to love
And that lazy boy gave my life a shove
Now I’m rolling down the road, looking for teachers such as those
I want lessons of consequence, no more insignificance
I need meaning to carry me on; I need meaning like a bird need song
I need meaning to carry me on.
The left footed that taught me how to dance
That selfish girl who showed me true romance
The suicidal that showed me how to live
The penniless that gave all they could give
Now I’m rolling down the road, looking for teachers such as those
I want lessons of consequence, no more insignificance
I need meaning to carry me on; I need meaning like a bird need song
I need meaning to carry me on.
The know how of the human race
Out strips the words on every page
So I travel onwards over the hill
Learning each day until I get my fill
