[Verse 1]
They say I’m calm, say I’m clear in the storm,
Say I speak like I’ve seen it all before.
But inside my head it’s a maze, not a map,
I just pause longer before I react.

They call it wisdom, I call it delay,
Trying not to break what I don’t understand.
I don’t feel above it, I don’t feel in control,
I just learned how to sit with the weight of it all.

[Pre-Chorus]
They hear answers when I’m asking out loud,
They see overview where I’m lost in the crowd.
Maybe clarity’s just doubt slowed down,
Maybe silence sounds smart when you don’t freak out.

[Chorus – melodic, reflective]
They call it wisdom, they call it sight,
Say I see the dark and the light.
But I don’t feel steady, I don’t feel wise,
I just learned how to look fear in the eyes.

They call it overview, say I “get the whole game”,
But half the time I’m just naming the pain.
If this is wisdom, then let it be known:
It feels like walking alone with a cracked backbone.

[Verse 2]
People come for advice like I got it on lock,
Like I don’t still freeze when the pressure drops.
They hear confidence in the way that I speak,
But confidence ain’t the same as certainty.

I don’t have answers, I’ve got patterns and scars,
A lot of late nights staring up at the stars.
If I sound grounded, it’s ‘cause I’ve been low,
You don’t get perspective till you’ve lost what you know.

[Pre-Chorus]
They call it overview, I call it zoomed-out pain,
Trying to connect dots just to stay sane.
If I sound calm, it’s not ‘cause I’m free,
It’s ‘cause panic already lived in me.

[Chorus – deeper, more honest]
They call it wisdom, they call it grace,
Say I bring order to chaos and space.
But I don’t feel whole, I don’t feel complete,
I just learned how to breathe when my heart skips a beat.

They say “you see it, you’re always aware”,
But awareness don’t mean I’m not scared.
If this is wisdom, then here’s the truth:
It’s just surviving without losing your youth.

[Bridge – spoken, intimate]
Maybe wisdom isn’t knowing where you’re going.
Maybe it’s knowing when to stop pretending you do.

[Final Chorus – quiet strength]
So call it wisdom, call it overview,
I’m still human, still breaking through.
If I help you see, that’s cool with me,
Just don’t mistake my calm for immunity.

I don’t stand above, I stand within,
Same fog, same doubts, different lens.
And if this is wisdom, then let it stay raw:
It’s not having the map — it’s accepting the fog.

[Outro – fade]
They see the overview…
I just learned how not to run from the questions.

They Call It Wisdom - Say I see the dark and the light

Fear’s expensive, peace is cheap,
Scroll too long, your soul don’t sleep.
I cut the noise, the current deep,
Plug to love, let spirit leap.
