Worldly-Wise - Gretta Ray

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes

Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?

High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened

Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

Can you feel it?

All you have ever really wanted lingers at arm’s length, sudden and new

It’s the real thing

Every dream that once was distant is now insistent on staying in view

Daunting as you may perceive it all to be, it’ll set you free

From the moment that you let go in the free fall

When the fear fades, you will take control in ways you haven’t before

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes

Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?

High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened

Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

Can you brave it?

Miles from Melbourne, can you take it?

Don’t get complacent wherever you are

Learn to tame it: the longing for all that is familiar

Don’t let it kill you, no matter how far

Grow to love the details that define new spaces

All of the places this will take you

Whether it’s London’s little red doors or the narrow Nashville sidewalks

All the things you’ll come to adore

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes

Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?

High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened

Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

In good time

To become worldly-wise

In good time

To become worldly-wise

In good time

To become worldly-wise

In good time

Daunting as you may perceive it all to be

Darling, believe me

When you let go in the free fall

When the fear fades, you will take control in ways you never foresaw

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes

Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?

High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened

Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

In good time

To become worldly-wise

In good time

To become worldly-wise

In good time

To become worldly-wise

In good time
