Wise

Lyrics

I was gonna change the world

‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever

Was gonna change the world

But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change myself

Thought if I read every page

Of all that’s been written in every age

Then I’d understand the fragile human heart

Yes, I’d be a sage

I was gonna change the world

‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever

Was gonna change the world

But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change myself

My method was so concise

Could freeze those pesky feelings in a trice

But now I wanna thaw the pieces of myself

That I’ve kept on ice

I was gonna change the world

‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever

Was gonna change the world

But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change myself!

Now I’ll start to feel

Was gonna change the world

‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever

Was gonna change the world

But I’m becoming wise…

I was gonna change the world

‘Cos I knew better, I was so clever

Was gonna change the world

But now I’ve wised up so I’m gonna change

I’ve wised up so I’m gonna feel

I’m wiser so I’m gonna be my whole self
