The Sage Lyrics

I’ve been around the block I’ve seen a thing or two
This grand illusion with a euphoric view
It’s smoke and mirrors, hands quicker than the eye
Ya dig where I’m coming from, are you hip to my jive
I’ve played the joker, I am a troubadour
I was a soldier, I fought the cold war
I am a lover, you know I’ve been a friend
I’ve been a fighter, but mostly with my pen
I’m a poet and I know it, let me show it
Baby burn the page, learn something everyday
If wisdom comes with age and from your mistakes
Then call me the sage, yeah, call me the sage
Call me the sage, just call me the sage
I’ve read some books, I’ve been to school
I keep my cool, nobody’s fool
Try to live the golden rule
And practice what would Jesus do
I’ve upset the status quo
I’ve rattled cages, rocked some boats
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
Swimming in a hurricane
I’m a poet and I know it, let me show it
Baby burn the page, learn something everyday
If wisdom comes with age and from your mistakes
Then call me the sage, yeah, call me the sage
Just call me the sage, call me the sage
And yes it’s true, best things in life are free
There’s love and peace, faith, hope, and charity
Be a friend in need or be a friend with weed
Do some good deed, hey man go plant a seed
I’m a poet and I know it, let me show it
Baby burn the page, learn something everyday
If wisdom comes with age and from your mistakes
Just call me the sage, call me the sage
Call me the sage, call me the sage
Gimme paper, gimme pen
I'm gonna write a song again
Just call me the sage, yeah, call me the sage
Call me the sage, call me the sage
Come on and call me the sage, call me the sage
Baby call me the sage, call me sage
Call me the sage, call me the sage...
