Wisdom (v.4)

[Instrumental intro] [Melodic acoustic guitar]

[Verse 1]
In an old cafe, at a table in the back,
I am looking out through the drowsy haze.
Coffee’s getting cold, sitting on the rack,
But the darkened glass holds my steady gaze.

[Verse 2]
Clatter of the plates, quiet talk around,
Someone’s seeking bliss, meeting heart to heart.
I feel so at home, silence is my ground,
Since the old man’s words gave me a new start.

[Chorus] [Powerful]
Who understood this life, he doesn't need to rush,
He savors every breath, he watches close,
How a baby sleeps, a prayer in the hush,
How the raindrops fall, how the winter snows.

[Verse 3]
Wisdom of this life touches only one
Who could find its spark deep within the soul.
World behind the glass is far away and gone,
Pain is left behind, I am feeling whole.

[Verse 4]
And I realized then, wealth is not the key,
Money cannot save from the grief and pain.
But who holds a sparrow, never will he see
The Firebird’s bright wings through the pouring rain.

[Verse 5]
In the dim reflection, lamp light starts to glow,
People rush outside, busy with their day.
Old man’s words are echoes, moving soft and slow,
Only coffee whispers: "Time to go away."

[Chorus] [Melodic]
Who understood this life, he doesn't need to rush,
He savors every breath, he watches close,
How a baby sleeps, a prayer in the hush,
How the raindrops fall, how the winter snows.

[Outro] [Soft Voice]
Who understood this life, saw the core of things,
That only death is perfect, more than life itself.
To know and not be moved, what a terror brings,
Worse than being simple, sitting on a shelf.

[End]
