Michael W. Smith - Live & Learn lyrics

Never should have tasted that forbidden fruit Tell me why do I always do What I don't want to do Now, I'm the only reaper of the seeds that I sow And when I walk the field of my stubborn will It's a hard row to hoe There's a price for getting smarter So I pay what I owe While bridges burn Let the shadow fall behind me I am wiser I know We live and learn Always living and learning Always living and learning Is it out of the fire, back in to the pan Is once enough to let it all sink in-or will I do it again A time for understanding has now come of age So I heed the word of the counselor and the voice of the sage Try to see the meaning Read between every line When pages turn There'll be no room for explaining what has been well-defined We live and learn Always living and learning Always living and learning An engaging temptation had me doing time Cause when it starts a fire under strong desire We are partners in crime But hindsight is clearer I can where I've gone and never return It's a new man in the mirror It's a new freedom song to live and learn Always living and learning Always living and learning
