Letra de Something to live for

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
