TELL ME WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT

This crazy world makes no sense to me.          
I don't know what to believe, makes no, no sense to me.
All of my life, I’ve never found a reason…

Why we turn away from the precious dreams of yesterday; 
never taking time to live our lives our way. 

CHORUS: 
Wish someone would tell me what life's about.
Searchin' everyday I come up empty.
Wish someone would tell me what life's about; 
standing at the gate to a world of plenty.
I don't know, I don't know, why we live this way.
I don't know, I don't know, if we'll ever change.
I don't know, I don't know, why we live this way.
Wish someone would tell me (what life's about.)
  
I know this world won't look out for me.
It's my job, since I am free, 
to choose my destiny.
But all of my life I’ve never found a reason...

Why we pass control. 
Give away our lives, our very souls.
Then we wonder why 
this way of life takes its toll.

REPEAT CHORUS
   
Lookin' around I see lonely faces; 
troubled and down, hopin' for changes, 
searchin' for a better way to live.

REPEAT CHORUS
