The Key

I don’t know where I’ve been, nor what is to become of me
Time will tell, it’s all to see
What the future holds for me

I don’t know who you are, nor how you made it here so far
What’s your secret to success?
Who’re you trying to impress?

What you make in life is yours, it’s your choice to
     close the doors
Happiness can be achieved
But it’s up to you to find the key

But there are changes coming through,
and I smile when I see you
Lights are shining in the sky—
shining bright, we’re on a new high

Long away down on the road, there’s a place I long to be
I keep searching endlessly
Fulfillment is that which I seek

Life surprises us all
One can never really tell
     What tomorrow holds in store
     Certainly we know no more
Than we ever knew before.

(1982)
