I thought I had graduated from the University of Life
But it seems to me sitting here I wasn’t right
We are never too old to learn, we should always look
There are lessons out there you can’t learn from a book
Some of the creatures on this earth are born to fight
There are others whose future looks so bright
I’d give my right arm to have all the right answers
But like those before me I will die still questioning.
Who is responsible for the way I feel?
Who is the person listening to my appeal?
Who is there to set me straight?
Who is going to miss me when I come home late?
Who is the one missing from my day?
Who is the one out there, so very far away?
Who is the one who can assess my faults?
And give me the answers that my heart wants?
What lies at the end of a rainbow?
What is it that makes love grow?
What are destiny and fate?
What is it that makes us wait?
What is the definition of a dream?
What is there in those places I’ve never seen?
What in the world makes time go so slow?
What are the answers that I’ll never know?
Where will I be a decade from now?
Where is the honesty implied by a vow?
Where do I fight these battles raging inside?
Where is there love that will abide?
Where are those that I hold so dear?
Where is the cure for all my ****** fear?
Where are my answers, the ones that I want?
I can’t seem to find them anywhere.
When will I stand on my own two feet?
When will my heart stop missing a beat?
When will the tears that I cry finally end?
When will my resolve irresistibly bend?
When will I know if I have what it takes?
When will I find an end to heartaches?
When will I stop questioning what I am doing?
Probably when I find my answers.
Why did you love me and take me to your heart?
Why do I choose to live here and keep us miles apart?
Why does forever seem so very far away?
Why do I live my life crawling from day to day?
Why does my heart feel locked up inside?
Why is there nobody here in whom I can confide?
Why do I have all these questions?
And, more importantly, why don’t I know the answers?
How do we fill an empty space?
How do we recall a particular face?
How do thoughts tumble inside our heads?
How do we dream when we go to our beds?
How do we remember love gone wrong?
How do we remember words to a song?
How do I find the way back from where I am?
All I need is the right answers.
I have explored the who, what, where, when, why and how
So, do you think that I have all the answers now?
Unfortunately not, at least not this time around
Guess I’ll have to keep looking until they’re found
There is one thing I have realised and it’s in my head
Sometimes in thought there’s a common thread
If I realise this, and look beyond this scree
Then I’d know that all the answers I need, lie inside of me.
