作词 : Nesmith The forest deep within revealed a struggle Between two lovers caught inside themselves And each one blamed the other for the trouble That made their cloistered lives a broken spell But wisdom has its way And patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile Wisdom has its way Patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile The streets were yelling poverty to millions While those who tried to help just made it worse And lying in the dust and cut to ribbons The fortunes of each one could find no purse But wisdom has its way And patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile Wisdom has its way Patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile Time is pushed aside For lessons that eternally abide Thought marches on Ten thousand strong Gaining the ground and the might The echoes of the anguished are enraging To intellects who stare at baseless woe While answers are successfully evading The foolishness of those who think they know But wisdom has its way And patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile, Wisdom has its way Patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile. But wisdom has its way And patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile Wisdom has its way Patience has her perfect work And you will see the day when they both smile
