about

I wrote this after I read the book of Proverbs.

lyrics

Chorus
Don’t you know
Don’t you know it’s true
Don’t you know
Deep down you do
Well, if you want to be a sage
Listen to what the wise people say

Vs1
Your money and your time
They will never lie
They will always tell the truth
About what your heart values

Holding on to a grudge
Is drinking something poisonous
Hoping the one you hate will die
But your the one to lose your life

Vs2
As a dog returns to eat
What just made it heave
So do Fools repeat
Their follies and deceit

The rush to gold is quick
But if you want to get rich
Don't be the man that mines
Sell shovels and supplies

Vs3
Watch what the experts say
If they are being paid
By the industries
With all the money

There are 4 things in life
That are never satisfied
They always want for more
They are hungry to their core

Bridge
Thirsty land (we want more)
a barren womb (we want more)
a blazing fire (we want more)
and the grave (we want more)

Nate writes about real life issues: love, war, politics, and religion. Buy the music, come to the shows, clap your hands, and pray that the vision in his music will spread; that swords will be beaten into plows and that jubilee will become reality. ... more
