What is the point of wisdom?
If it stays inside your mind
Formal education
Equates to flying blind

Have you information
Underneath your hat un-bared?
See, knowledge is not acknowledged till it’s shared
But will your rush to judgment
Accuse a few book-smart
Not of thinking with their left brain, but
Deciding not to give in to their hearts?

Knowledge is not acknowledged till it’s shared
I’m aware that some are scarred and some are scared
Degrees of learning chart what you’ve confined
So what’s the point of learning…

…If it stays inside your mind?
