Wiser and Weaker - Deniece Williams

If you ride on a plane

You could miss your destination

See the acid in rain

Falling down upon a nation

Wise in invention

And weak in intention

You’re the wiser

Then the weaker

There’s our rivers and streams

Water is not fit for drinking

We’re polluting our dreams

Isn’t anybody thinking, yeah

We’re wise in our dealings

But weak in our feelings, yeah

Is the planet’s fate

Just a chance we take

Ask yourself

Is it fair

What am I doing?

And do I really care?

Yeah

You’re the wiser

Then the weaker

You’re the wiser

(That's what you tell yourself)

Then the weaker

Help the sick and the old

Feed the people if they’re hungry

Sleep outside and they’re cold

More to life than making money, yeah

We’re wise in our power

Then weak in the hour

What we’re heading down

Has to go around

When are we all gone

Yeah

Tell me

What part of this would you like to go on?

You’re the wiser

Then the weaker

(Go on, yeah)

You’re the wiser

(You're the wiser)

Then the weaker

(Then you turn around and you’re weaker)

You’re the wiser

Then the weaker

Has to go around

What part of this would you like to go on?

You’re the wiser

Then the weaker

(Go on, yeah)

You’re the wiser

(You're the wiser)

Then the weaker
