Dumb Decisions

Solomon's Young Prince Faced A Decision When He Was Made The Ruler
An Insolent Controller
In First Kings 12 - Pride Lies In The Fall Of Rehoboam

Growing Up, It All Seemed So Exciting - Dominion Was Provided
The Future King Was Guided
Detached And Somewhat Strident When At Last He Took The Throne
So When Israel Pleaded For Relief He Told Them No

Dumb Decisions
With Advice Too Small - End Up Costing All
Can't Afford To Be Brash Now
Dumb Decisions
If You're Placed In Charge - And The Bad Stuff Starts
Keep Cool - Don't Be Rash Now

Planning And Patience Help Improve The One That Trusts The Truth
But The Proverbs Have No Chance To Move The Reckless Me-First Youth

Unlike Pops, He Didn't Use Much Wisdom
His Pride Lands Saw Subtraction - Through His Course Of Action
Split Up Like A Giant Pie - Just Two Pieces Left In Sight

Well, Strong-Willed, Selfish Kings Can Cause A Fire
And Lose Their Place To That - With Honor Shrinking Fast
And Start To Think They're Someone Who Can Act With Reckless Spite
Some Men Out There Will Never Be He Kind That Seek God's Wise Advice

Dumb Decisions
With Advice Too Small - End Up Costing All
Can't Afford To Be Brash Now
Dumb Decisions
If You're Placed In Charge - And The Bad Stuff Starts
Keep Cool - Don't Be Rash Now

Planning And Patience Help Improve The One That Trusts The Truth
But The Proverbs Have No Chance To Move The Reckless Me-First Youth
