Wisdom of Solomon © 2017 Stephen A Schuster
This is what I would do if ever I was able
I’d run this movie backward from my grave back to my cradle
‘cause I could profit from the mind of a faded older man
And use it in my younger days to make a better plan
To deal myself a better hand
With the Wisdom of Solomon, patience of Job
Nobody knows how it goes til they get down the road
Oh we have struggled with innocence
Since Adam and Eve
We’ve never let ourselves go and we always believe
We’ve got the wisdom, the patience, the time we desire
To watch our innocence burn in an unconsumed fire
The lessons always seem to bring me to my knees
I pray and beg forgiveness, Lord, for every one of these
Reflected in the mirror of a clearer crystal ball
With every full advantage paid collect on every call
I would finally get to see it all
Through the Wisdom of Solomon, patience of Job…
Fire it up, boys – Burn it on down
‘round here, in the devil’s playground
Higher up, boys – see what I found
Unconsumed fire in the devil’s playground
Fire in the devil’s playground
The legends always leave every option upon the table
Calling me to separate the painful from the fatal
Dream soaked apparitions of crystals and magic stones
Teardrop premonitions of tomorrow’s great unknowns
That feeling in my bones
From the Wisdom of Solomon, patience of Job…
