verse
Never should have tasted that forbidden fruit
Tell my why do I always do
Now, I'm the only reaper of the seeds that I sow
And when I walk the field of my stubborn will
There's a price for getting smarter
Let the shadow fall behind me
Always living and learning
Always living and learning
verse
Is it out of the fire, back into 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
There'll be no room for explaining what has been well-defined
Always living and learning
Always living and learning
verse
And engaging temptation had me doing time
'Cause when it starts a fire under strong desire
I can see 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
