THINKING THINGS THROUGH
Words and Music by Gary Wollman


I’D BEEN SEARCHING FOR A REASON
IN A WORLD THAT ONLY MOVES FOR THE POWERFUL FEW
LONG AND HARD HOW I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU
WHO I HARDLY KNEW
WELL MY NAME IS SAGE I’VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO
YEAH AND I’M RIGHT HERE TALKING TO YOU
‘CAUSE I’VE BEEN THINKING THINGS THROUGH

WE’VE BEEN WORRYING ‘BOUT OURSELVES 
AND NO ONE ELSE
SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME
THIS IS TRUE – TO EACH OTHER WE’VE BEEN – SO UNTRUE
BETWEEN – WORDS AND THE GUNS
THERE’S TOO MUCH SHOOTIN’ GOIN’ ON
AND NO ONE’S HAVING FUN – NOT EVEN ME AND YOU
YEAH – I’VE BEEN THINKING THINGS THROUGH

THAT’S WHY – YOU CAN TAKE IT FROM ME
WHAT I SAY IS TRUE
TRUST IN ME – I’VE BEEN THINKING THINGS THROUGH

PEOPLE WAITIN’ FOR A SECOND – WAITIN’ FOR A MINUTE
OR SOME OTHER HOUR TO COME
LIVIN’ FOR THAT SPECIAL DAY OR HOLY CLIMB
WELL CAN’T YOU SEE THAT IN REALITY
ALL WE EVER DO IS CUT AND DIVIDE
AND WE CAN NO LONGER QUITE JUSTIFY
OUR SEPARATE SHRINES

WE CAN CHART JUST WHERE WE’RE GOING
ONCE WE’VE DECIDED TO MOVE
WHEN THE POWER IS YOURS TO USE WHAT WILL YOU DO?
WILL YOU LOOK DEEP INTO YOUR HEART
OR DO YOU NEED YET ANOTHER CLUE
TO SEE WHAT’S WAITIN’ HERE IN STORE FOR YOU
THINKING THINGS THROUGH?

CAN YOU HEAR ME – BROTHER TO BROTHER
NO DON’T EVEN THINK – THAT I’M FAST TALKING YOU
WE CAN DO IT – SISTER TO SISTER
FIND THE RIGHTEOUS PATH – SEEK OUT THE TRUTH

COME WALK SIDE BY SIDE WITH ME – CAREFULLY LISTEN
‘CAUSE NOW IS THE TIME – WE’VE GOT TO START ANEW
I KNOW THEN YOU’LL AGREE MY BROTHER AND SISTER
‘CAUSE I’VE BEEN THINKING THINGS THROUGH

THAT’S RIGHT – YOU CAN TAKE IT FOR ME

[INSTRUMENTAL]

BY THE WAY – MY NAME IS SAGE
THERE’S SO MUCH THAT I CAN SAY AND WE CAN DO
I FASHION MOST OF WHAT I BELIEVE
FROM APPROXIMATELY ALL THAT WE’VE BEEN THROUGH
WE’VE GOT EVERYTHING TO GAIN
IF WE CAN JUST RESET OUR AIM FOR BOTH ME AND YOU
BEGIN TO SEE EACH OTHER’S POINT OF VIEW
THINKING THINGS THROUGH

DARE YOURSELF TO BELONG
DARE EVERYONE ELSE TO DO THE SAME
WHEN YOU HEAR IT IN YOUR HEART
AND KNOW IT IN YOUR MIND
WELL YOU CAN’T GO WRONG
STILL WE FIGHT TO KEEP APART
COULD IT BE THAT WE’RE INSANE
TO LEAVE THE PAIN TO MULTIPLY FOR SO LONG

[CHORUS]

YO DON’T FEAR ‘CAUSE SIREN’S HERE TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT THERE’S A BIGGER PICTURE UNDER THE SUN
DON’T YOU KNOW IT ALREADY
THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN
I’M HERE TO SATISFY A LARGER DESIRE
COME LET ME SET YOU AFIRE
I’M GUARANTEED TO STUN
WITH BOTH BEAUTY AND TRUTH ALL ROLLED INTO ONE

[CHORUS]

YOU CAN TRUST IN ME – MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES
DO OUR BEST TO REARRANGE IT

Dax - Searching For A Reason

The Sage Page
Sage's music has presented itself through songs that have accompanied such seminal events as the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the election of Nelson Mandella - ending apartheid in South Africa. His songs continue to question the status quo and aspire towards as well as inspire for the "Greater Good." Selections such as "Love is the Key",What are We Going to do About the Hate" and "The Land of the Brave New Spirit" help set the stage for a more positive world and way of helping to move with individual hope and appropriate resulting actions.
Sagesongs are comprised of music that is intended to awaken us to our highest calling: helping us to understand matters of social significance (violence, racism, media literacy) as well as self-realization. Additionally many songs also deal with traditional subjects such as romantic love and love's many frustrations. All these works are designed to approach life's challenges working through ideals and positivity
