Ballad of the silent seeker (attempt 2)

Lyrics

Ballad of Silent Wisdom

In a quiet land of shadows deep,
Where ancient rivers softly sweep,
A sage sat by the fading light,
His eyes aglow with inner sight.

The people came from far and wide,
To seek the truths he would not hide,
But from his lips, no word took flight,
He only smiled in the fading night.

Chorus:
Those who know, they never say,
They walk in silence through the day,
For wisdom’s voice is soft and still,
Beyond the reach of human will.

A traveler bold, with questions grand,
Came seeking truth from that quiet land.
He cried, "Oh sage, won’t you reveal,
The mysteries that you conceal?"

But the sage looked out to the setting sun,
As if the day and night were one.
He closed his eyes, but not in sleep,
For knowledge runs both wide and deep.

Chorus:
Those who know, they never say,
They walk in silence through the day,
For wisdom’s voice is soft and still,
Beyond the reach of human will.

The traveler knelt, his heart on fire,
His soul ablaze with great desire.
“Tell me, sage, I beg you now,
How to live, and when, and how.”

But the sage, he only shook his head,
“Some truths are lived, not ever said.
For words will fall and scatter wide,
Like leaves that drift upon the tide.”

Chorus:
Those who know, they never say,
They walk in silence through the day,
For wisdom’s voice is soft and still,
Beyond the reach of human will.

The traveler rose, with heart grown light,
For in the silence, there was sight.
The sage’s lesson, quiet and clear,
Was felt in stillness, not in fear.

So he left the land, with nothing to show,
But the silence where wisdom grows.
And as he walked, he sang this song,
Of those who know, but never long.

Chorus:
Those who know, they never say,
They walk in silence through the day,
For wisdom’s voice is soft and still,
Beyond the reach of human will.

And in the wind, the words would weave,
The truth that only silence leaves.
For those who seek and never find,
May learn the secret of the mind.

Final Chorus:
Those who know, they never say,
They walk in silence through the day,
And in the quiet, hearts will see,
That wisdom lives eternally.
