Wandering far from nowhere
I came across an old man working alone
He didn't notice me at all
But my past was written in his pictures
All over the sidewalk

I took a moment to look at them
But I had already seen them from the inside
Scenes all to familiar now
I would have looked away
If I could have somehow

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

He drew a road to nowhere
And I found myself following blindly along
Never asking where it led
Not knowing my home
Was the road I was on

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for

"Paint me a groom," I said
"Paint me my estate,
Paint me my children,
Paint me a future of some kind
A reason for being"

I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for
I want to know what lies ahead
I want to see what is in store
I want to know what I am about
And if I have something to live for
