**"Pearls Before Swine"** *(Verse 1)* I've been working all my life, giving all I've got Sharing wisdom, sharing love, but they see it not Blind eyes staring at the ground, deaf ears to the truth All my efforts thrown away like I'm still some fool *(Pre-Chorus)* They don't see, they don't care Walking past like I'm not there *(Chorus)**[choir] Don't throw pearls before swine They'll just trample what is mine All my work, all my time Wasted on the deaf and blind Don't throw pearls before swine They can't see the grand design *(Verse 2)* Built them bridges, lit their way, showed them how to fly But they'd rather crawl in mud, never asking why Gave them gold, they wanted dirt, gave them light, they chose the dark Every lesson that I taught just missed the mark *(Pre-Chorus)* They don't learn, they don't grow Wisdom's something they don't know *(Chorus)* Don't throw pearls before swine They'll just trample what is mine All my work, all my time Wasted on the deaf and blind Don't throw pearls before swine They can't see the grand design [solo guitar] *(Bridge)* Maybe I should save my breath Keep my treasures to myself Let them wallow in their mess While I find someone who cares *(Final Chorus)*[choir] Won't throw pearls before swine Gonna keep what's truly mine Found my worth, found my time Leave behind the deaf and blind Won't throw pearls before swine I can see the grand design Hey hey hey, I know my worth Hey hey hey, for what it's worth Pearls before swine! Pearls before swine!...
