VERSE 1.
Why do plates stay on the table?
How do planes float across the sky?
Why do flowers bloom in Springtime?
Why do people live a life only to pass bye?
VERSE 2.
Why are some so rich and famous
While others struggle to get by?
Why do some understand persistence
While others give up after the first try?
CHORUS
The secrets of life
The secrets of life
They are hiding, but they're not too hard to find, yeah, yeah, yeah...
The secrets of life
The secrets of life
Are waiting if you only take the time
BRIDGE
How can we share this common condition
Yet, be so far apart in what we believe?
What's happened to the spiritual connection
That supposedly flows thru you and me?
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3.
Why do fear and selfishness preclude
Every chance we have to share charity in this life we're passing through?
Why don't we seize the chances to find
The magnificent potential living in our hearts and minds?
REPEAT CHORUS
They're waiting
They're waiting
They're waiting
