Wisdom (in Small Doses)

Sittin' here wonderin' if this is real life

Watchin' people watch me watch them

Can't believe a moment from one to the next

Thinkin' that it's not their problem

No matter how much I might look at the world

My observations don't mean a thing

If I know the answer in the blink of an eye

To the many questions my life might bring

CHORUS

We all need

(Wisdom in small doses) A moment of truth

(Wisdom in small doses) To know what is right

(Wisdom in small doses) I know it

Don't you know how I must feel

If the answer comes from somewhere unknown

Just there without question or doubt

Words that seem so matter-of-fact

The blind simple truth is found out

I don't take apart the things that I feel

I won't build on hopes that aren't real

I never look for the truth in a lie

The truth is part of how I must feel

CHORUS

Can't believe that I might be like them

And I'm wonderin' if I'm alive

See, I'm stuck in a moment of truth

As I'm looking for answers to why

Sittin' here wonderin' if this is real life

Watchin' people watch me watch them

Can't believe a moment from one to the next

Looking for the answer again

I don't take apart the things that I feel

I won't build on hopes that aren't real

I never look for the truth in a lie

The truth is part of how I must feel

CHORUS

Now you know how I must feel
