Listen, my son to the words that I say
Keep all I tell you within your heart
If you will search after wisdom as
gold, many hidden treasures will unfold
My father taught me when I was just a boy, saying,
Follow the wise way, and you will have great joy!
Now I am telling those same words to
you, following the Word of God so true.
Daddy, I know you love me
Thank you for taking the time
To lead my feet in the right way
So maybe someday to my little boy I will say…
Listen, my son to the words that I say
Keep all I tell you within your heart
If you will search after wisdom as
gold, many hidden treasures will unfold.
