[Verse 1:]
âWhy are you cryingâ, I asked her gently
Your eyes are closed, swollen from many tears
âI set a table, prepared the way for youâ she said
âAnd you were distracted while intently searched for youâ
[Chorus:]
Wisdom cries, through the lies
Let her in, donât despise her
âCause evil things, and the grief it brings
Wonât help you when, famine sings its song
[Verse 2:]
âWhy are you cryingâ she asked me gently
âTake back the years, donât live in fear, or unrighteous folly â
âIâve spent my days, wasting away, ignored your knocking
When you are worth more than finest of gold
Please now donât leave me.â
[Bridge:]
Would you listen to her, would you listen to her
Would you listen to her, would you listen to her
Would you listen, listen, listen, listen
Would you listen, listen, O listen
Hear her crying
[Ending]
âWhy are you cryingâ please ask her gently
