Verse 1
Sitting in a classroom row by row
Learning things we’re told to know
Dates and numbers, rules and lines
Training perfect little minds
Raise your hand, repeat the phrase
Memorize a thousand ways
How to answer, how to win
But no one asks what’s deep within
Pre-Chorus
They teach you how to calculate
But not how to navigate
A broken heart or darker days
Chorus
School can make you smart, it's true
Fill your head with what to do
Teach you facts, theories, lies
But it can’t teach, how to be wise
Smart can build a perfect plan
Wise can understand a man
Smart can shine like neon lights
Wise can guide you through the night
Verse 2
Life begins where schoolbooks end
Where the rules start to bend
Every loss, every mistake
Is a lesson you can’t fake
No teacher writes it on the board
No diploma, no reward
Just the quiet voice inside
Learning truth you cannot hide
Pre-Chorus
Experience writes every page
Time becomes the only sage
Chorus
School can make you smart, it's true
Fill your head with what to do
Teach you facts, theories, lies
But it can’t teach, how to be wise
Smart can build a perfect plan
Wise can understand a man
Smart can shine like neon lights
Wise can guide you through the night
Bridge
You can know the stars by name
Every rule of every game
But still be lost inside your mind
Wisdom grows where pain has been
In the places deep within
Where the soul begins to find
Final Chorus (bigger)
School can make you smart, it's true
But life will show the deeper view
Facts may open many doors
Wisdom shows what they’re for
Smart can shine like city lights
Wise can guide you through the night
Smart may tell you what is right
Wise will show you how to live your life
Outro
Books can teach you what to say
Life will show a different way
Smart may fill your mind with noise
But the heart will make you wise
RAi
