I know where I'm going

I know where I'm going

you don't need to tell me

what my next step will be

I am on my way

I know where I'm going

I know the way there

but I don't have to stay there

I'm leaving today

I know what I'm doing

I've made my connections

I don't need suggestions

I've made up my mind

it's life I'm pursuing

and it's my life alone

I don't have to go home

let's see what I find

          a world outside

          is waiting for me

          so many new faces

          I've yet to see

I know what I'm making

when I'm making mistakes

but my lucky break

is just around the bend

it's mine for the taking

I've waited so long

to right all the wrongs

I won't go through that again

          a world outside

          is what I need

          get out of my way

          I'm ready to proceed

I know where I'm going

all my life I've waited

I've anticipated

where life will lead

I know where I'm going

I don't have to borrow

a better tomorrow

is what I need
