Lyrics

Foolish and Wise

music and lyrics
by Carole Walker

We are both so foolish and wise
smiling like politicians
whispering like spies
all this time we are just
‘stalking out prey
hoping one might get stuck in the sticky words we say


who am i to say what is wrong or right today
I don't hold the truth to the beauty of this world
i rise I fly I crawl
karma springs from it all
i just raise my drink to the beauty of this world

how many times must the story repeat
mistakes that i made’ mistakes that made me
’i swear I'm just a flower ’that hasn't found the sun
don't look at me like i’m some doll
who's sticking has all has come undone

who am i to say what is wrong or right today
I don't hold the truth to the beauty of this world
i rise I fly I crawl
karma springs from it all
i just raise my drink to the beauty of this world

roll up to your chapel
and through you to the ground
pitchforks screaming in their hands
what goes around comes around
but i swear i just don't listen

who can resit
locking on eyes
holding their ground
so it might be compromised
so we can resent the one who led us astray
when we know all that time
we were going that way

So

who am i to say what is wrong or right today
I don't hold the truth to the beauty of this world
i rise I fly I crawl
