I wanted to live the life of a prince
Because I thought saints were born saints, so indeed we didn't stand a chance
Insalubrious offshoots of nature with heart and mind of our own
All the daughters, all the sons taking centuries to unearth the creature
Heralding a stage where consciousness is higher
Taken through a costly process of success and failure

I thought saints were born saints, I looked in the dirt and found wisdom is learnt
Through a costly process, through a costly process of success and failure
I thought saints were born saints, I looked in the dirt and found wisdom is learnt
Through a costly process, through a costly process of success and failure
Oh, wisdom is learnt, oh, wisdom is learnt, oh, wisdom is learnt
