Analysis of We seek one thing
We must seek one thing
It brings to us everything
It is the power of knowledge
Which we all do acknowledge
As knowledge is the light
That develops our insight
Through experience we do learn
To make the fortune turn
From cradle to the grave
Our fate does it save
Yet showers of honour and fame
Should never make us forget our aim
Wisdom does come with age
Pace of time will make you sage
Just watch every sign of change
That occurs within our range
