Smokey Robinson
The Wisdom of Time
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, the wisdom of time

[Chorus]
A baby crawls before he walks
He coos and mumbles before he talks
As the world turns, we live and learn
With the wisdom of time
As the world turns, we live and learn
With the wisdom of time

[Verse 1]
Growing up through years of wonder
Why some go over and some go under
Life seems strange, but experience is gained
With the wisdom of time, yeah
Yesterday, we lived separated
But today I thought you'd be integrated
Divided we'll fall or together stand tall
With the wisdom of time, yeah
Divided we'll fall or together stand tall
With the wisdom of time, yeah

[Interlude]
Time
The healer of wounds (The wisdom of time)
The sealer of fate
With the greatest power to educate (The wisdom of time)
Through you wisdom teach us not to hate (The wisdom of time)
Before it's too late
[Verse 2]
Narrow minds keep us locked up tight
But broader minds are the key to what's right
So let's keep hoping for minds get open
With the wisdom of time, oh

[Chorus]
A baby crawls before he walks (Oh yeah)
He coos and mumbles before he talks
As the world turns, we live and learn
With the wisdom of time

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
As the world turns, we live and learn
With the wisdom of time
Oh-oh
