Some nights I lie in forced awakeness My thoughts won't let me go A sleep like death has claimed the world outside The silence reshapes my solitude From a refuge to a prison Distraction less, nowhere to hide Aloneness holds the mirror I see things, I just can't work through Some things you'll never shine any light into Like how to read what will be, from what has been Like what's in store for me and you I wonder what my life will be What lies ahead for the people close to me? How can I make my peace with uncertainty In a sea of risk, swim with serenity? Some nights my thoughts drag me to a cold, cold place The dark side of mortality Who will be the next to go their light blown out forever In that merciless finality? Lives are running novels at times you read, at times you write The choice of which to do might keep you awake at night Should I just accept or act against this pressing moment? Should I run for cover or stand and fight? I wonder what my life will be A public failure or success in obscurity? How can I make my peace with uncertainty In a sea of risk, swim with serenity? I wonder what my life will be What lies ahead for you and me? Can I make my peace with uncertainty? I wonder what my life will be I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
