A song about how we gain experience and wisdom through life.
Lyrics
EXPERIENCE by Mike Pilling c. 2010
V1
Go back in time inside your mind
When mom and dad were dense
If only they were as smart as you
Life would all make sense
But somehow as the years went by
The smarter they became
It wasn't them, you know it's you
That gave this thing a name
INST BREAK 4 BARS
V2
Go back again, and entertain
A thought that stands apart
Something that made you seem so wise
Something that gave you heart
Was it luck or was it fate
You knew just what to do
It didn't always work that way
A changing point of view
CH
Well we think we know all we've got to know
But brother we ain't even close
Cause experience is what we get, right after...right after
We need it most
INST BREAK 4 BARS
V3
You live, you love, you laugh a lot
Come home in the morning sun
Seeems as if you'll live forever
You've only just begun
Then it seems everywhere you look
Folks are going down
Losing pride and losing lives
It happens all around
BRIDGE
Overnight, decide to fight the fight
We learn, we burn, hope to make it right
CH
FADE
