Something To Live For - Grey Eye Glances

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
