Listen, Lady Wisdom pleads    Calling out to simple minds    As they look within themselves    They all look within themselves       They make gods out of earthly things    Satisfy themselves with other things    All men like sheep have gone astray    Drifting far as she cries for them to stay       They turn away, they turn away    The good advice they ricochet    They turn away, they turn away    Life was on the table, but they turned away       The foolish look past Lady Wisdom    Blinded only by their eyes    They build houses of sound    Oh, they build a house of sand       Drifting far, where have they gone?    Drifting far, where have they gone?    Drifting far, where have they gone?    Drifting far as she cries for them to stay    Folly's found her way into the hearts of many men    And the company she keeps now lies alone down in the sand
