Worldly-Wise Lyrics by Gretta Ray

Begin To Look Around

2021

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes
Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?
High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened
Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

Can you feel it?
All you have ever really wanted lingers at arm’s length, sudden and new
It’s the real thing
Every dream that once was distant is now insistent on staying in view

Daunting as you may perceive it all to be, it’ll set you free
From the moment that you let go in the free fall
When the fear fades, you will take control in ways you haven’t before

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes
Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?
High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened
Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

Can you brave it?
Miles from Melbourne, can you take it?
Don’t get complacent wherever you are
Learn to tame it: the longing for all that is familiar
Don’t let it kill you, no matter how far

Grow to love the details that define new spaces
All of the places this will take you
Whether it’s London’s little red doors or the narrow Nashville sidewalks
All the things you’ll come to adore

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes
Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?
High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened
Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

In good time
To become worldly-wise
In good time
To become worldly-wise
In good time
To become worldly-wise
In good time

Daunting as you may perceive it all to be
Darling, believe me
When you let go in the free fall
When the fear fades, you will take control in ways you never foresaw

Broaden your mind, widen your horizon and lift your eyes
Are you ready to roll and go along for the ride?
High is the tide, as is your drive to be enlightened
Heavy with hope to become worldly-wise

In good time
To become worldly-wise
In good time
To become worldly-wise
In good time
To become worldly-wise
In good time
