Williams, Deniece - Wiser And Weaker Lyrics

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

(Weaker)

You're the wiser

(Wiser, yeah)

Then the weaker

(Weaker, yeah)



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

(Wiser, yeah)

Then the weaker

(Weaker, yeah)

You're the wiser

(Wiser, yeah)

Then the weaker

(Weaker, yeah)

You're the wiser

Then the weaker

You're the wiser

Then the weaker

I have all of her albums, including Johnny Mathis' duet album with her. I am a fan of this singer, songwriter and producer.

80's 🎶.

Nice. You will find this and more on the recently re-issued Expanded Edition 'Hot On The Trail' CD

I NEVER get tired of hearing 80's "sound"..esp songs remixed by masters Thompson & Barbiero
