Old Wisdom

[Verse 1]

When you were little

You were scared to death

That the rapture already happened

Only you were left

Despite your constant vigilance

You had angered the Lord

Which somehow made you love him even more

[Chorus]

On the same old wisdom

With the same result

Kids in turmoil

Thinking it's their fault

With their souls wide open

To authority

'Til they've traded everything

For a peace with no peace

[Verse 2]

You're not allowed to see it

But you always had a choice

Between making a disciple

And knowing your little boy

I thought it was sinful

For me to know myself

And if I did I might wind up in hell

[Chorus]

On the same old wisdom

With the same result

Kids in turmoil

Thinking it's their fault

Oh, my soul wide open

To authority

'Til I traded everything

For a peace with no peace
