And oh I wish I could sing a song
The one that belongs to the wise and wonderful
Not that which belongs to the rich and powerful
For theirs is one of treachery and scorn
I long not for the higher of the world
I wish only to humm a prayer in the night
The one that pleads sanction and rest
And for you my most dearest of strangers
You rest kindly in my heart
For the day we will meet may never come
But as a fool I keep the wise in my songs
The one that belongs to the wise and wonderful
Not that which belongs to the rich and powerful
For theirs is one of treachery and scorn
I long not for the higher of the world
I wish only to humm a prayer in the night
The one that pleads sanction and rest
And for you my most dearest of strangers
You rest kindly in my heart
For the day we will meet may never come
But as a fool I keep the wise in my songs
