(Verse 1) The lips that drip like morning dew, A silken voice, it calls to you. Her words are soft, a gentle rain, Concealing shadows, hidden pain. (Verse 2) But heed the wisdom, understand, This fleeting touch, this offered hand, Will turn to gall, a bitter taste, A path that leads to utter waste. (Chorus 1) Keep your distance, turn your face, From doorways that bring such disgrace. Don't give your strength, your precious time, To empty joys, a hollow climb. (Verse 3) Her feet descend where darkness lies, A road that wisdom does despise. She wanders lost, without a guide, Ignoring truths she casts aside. (Verse 4) So listen close, my son, take heed, Plant not a sorrow's bitter seed. Avoid the path, the tempting call, Before you stumble and you fall. (Chorus 2) Step far away, don't linger near, Lest bitter sorrow brings a tear. Your honor lost, your future dim, A heavy price upon a whim. (Verse 5) Why trade the wellspring pure and deep, For broken cisterns that can't keep? Let your own fountain overflow, Where honest love and kindness grow. (Verse 6) Rejoice within the arms you hold, A love more precious than pure gold. Find your delight in gentle grace, In the devoted, loving space. (Verse 7) For every step the Lord can see, The tangled web of iniquity. Your own transgressions bind you fast, A bitter harvest meant to last. (Verse 8) Discipline scorned, instruction slighted, A foolish path, unwisely sighted. So choose the wise and righteous way, Lest folly steals your light of day. (Chorus 3) Turn now and flee, don't hesitate, Before it seals a cruelest fate. Guard well your heart, your soul, your might, And walk in wisdom's guiding light. (Chorus 3) Turn now and flee, don't hesitate, Before it seals a cruelest fate. Guard well your heart, your soul, your might, And walk in wisdom's guiding light.
