Wiseman told me this day would end
he told me not to worry another one will begin
Wiseman told me not to carry this long
he told me someone's traveling the same road I'm on
Wiseman told me teats leave a stain
he told me that the clouds had a purpose in the rain
Wiseman told me how to comb my hair
how to walk my walk and say I just don't care
He taught me how to laugh
and how to stand alone
How to walk through the crowd
Wiseman was wrong
Seems like this day will never end
when I wake up it starts all over again
There's no one traveling the road I'm on
and I've been walking for so damn long
and the clouds don't ever bring no rain
but the tears do leave a stain
yea the tears do leave a strain
