the future's wide open


I'm always waiting
anticipating
the worst to happen to me
I'm always trying
but not denying
to see what I can see
where I'm going
there is no knowing
it's just around the bend
but I'm not prepared
there's nothing there
to place my hopes within

          I  keep hoping
          the future's wide open
          though time is running out
          when it's my time to go
          I still won't know
          what this life was about

I've stopped my silence
it's like a science
learning to be me
I've come to ignore
who I was before
I set my own self free
it would upset me
if you left me
I don't want to be alone
I am unraveling
I believe I'm traveling
closer to my home

          I  keep hoping
          the future's wide open
          though time is running out
          when it's my time to go
          I still won't know
          what this life was about

I keep forgetting
what I'm regretting
remind me of my cause
I've had enough
I won't give up
until I hear applause
this world turns
and I'm trying to learn
how to live in this time
I'm broken and scarred
but still I try hard
to find something that's mine

          I  keep hoping
          the future's wide open
          though time is running out
          when it's my time to go
          I still won't know
          what this life was about
