[Verse 1]
I used to sit in the shade
Of an old cedar tree
And dream of the day
What they're holdin' for me

[Chorus]
But all those should know
Who gaze at the sky
It's for those who are wise
Only those who are wise

[Verse 2]
And the west winds would blow
They'd be singing to me
They'd say, "Look, you, out yonder
Just as far as you can see"

[Chorus]
But all those should know
Who gaze at the sky
It's for those who are wise
Only those who are wise

[Verse 3]
And the years went their way
As the good years will go
But my dreams linger on
In the hills of my home
[Chorus]
And young men should know
Who gaze at the sky
It is you who are wise
Only you who are wise
