I see you
You don't know what to do with your life
Don't know what to do with your future
Who to trust now
I see you
You don't know how long your breath is going to last
But you remember long when someone has gone
You want to pay the world back
Oh...girl friend
Open your eyes and dance your story on
Or close them and dream on your beautiful dream
I see you
You make wild conjectures
You make wild guesses
Your imagination, girl friend
plays tricks on you
I see you
Your hope leads you astray
You don't know what to choose
No, you don't know what to choose
From the rich variety life holds in store for you
Hope springs eternal in the human breast,
as someone once said
But you can't live through your life happily
trusting no one.
