Whisper words


 

Whisper words of wisdom 
Into my soul and I hope that they soothe me before I grow old
Left to my own device 
I might find myself at my demise
I guess I cant be to hard 
I do try
Whisper words of wisdom
And I hope that they uplift me 
Before I get used to the bottom
I hope that you feel me 
This aint a act, this is all true facts 
As I tell it
My heart stitched to my sleeve 
I just hope that you feel it
Or am I too small
Not making enough moves, I just wanna play the game
I wanna play ball
Ill be yo pawn
Just whisper words of wisdom
And ill win the whole thang
Life is but a journey and this how they dealt it
I been cheated outta hella things
No new dreams we steady living in hell
Dreaming about blue skies and a fairytale
They whisper words of wisdom
To make you they slave
Work for a dream. Work for some change. 
They operate with dollars, so they cant hear how we sang
Whisper words of wisdom onto me
Protect my soul from the cold we call home
My heart is hollow is whispers such a sad song
It howls for everything I had longed. 
Whisper words of wisdom
