Lyrics
Wishes come true for lucky wishers
Hearts set on joy are soon disappointed
Promises of plenty outnumbered by numbers
Tumbling and settling on the floor
What is any of this for?
Ragged and jagged as life can seem
There's something that matters in who we be
I try to fashion an understanding
From the hunger for love
To the pain that I ignore
What is any of this for?
I had a thought and I had a mission
Long before I was born I listened
I would leave the big decisions
In the Hands of Someone Who Knows
Through the highs and the lows
And I had a dream and I had a notion
Long before I sailed this sea
Now after the calming of stormy waters
Happy thoughts come bobbing back to me
How can this be? (so strange it seems . . . it's a mystery)
Wishes come true for lucky wishers
Hearts set on joy are soon disappointed
Doo doo n doo doo n doo doo doo doo
What is any of this for?
