Live And Learn

Michael W. Smith

Never should have tasted that forbidden fruit

Tell me why do I always do

What I don't want to do

Now, I'm the only reaper of the seeds that I sow

And when I walk the field of my stubborn will

It's a hard row to hoe

There's a price for getting smarter

So I pay what I owe

While bridges burn

Let the shadow fall behind me

I am wiser I know

We live and learn

Always living and learning

Always living and learning

Is it out of the fire, back in to the pan

Is once enough to let it all sink in-or will I do it again

A time for understanding has now come of age

So I heed the word of the counselor and the voice of the sage

Try to see the meaning

Read between every line

When pages turn

There'll be no room for explaining what has been well-defined

We live and learn

Always living and learning

Always living and learning

An engaging temptation had me doing time

'Cause when it starts a fire under strong desire

We are partners in crime

But hindsight is clearer

I can where I've gone and never return

It's a new man in the mirror

It's a new freedom song to live and learn

Always living and learning

Always living and learning
