Who Can Know (c) by Karen Shaw Matteson
| Who can know what a day
will bring? Songs and laughter or tears and rain When I think that all is said and done I find it's only just begun I cannot live on hopes and dreams For things aren't always as they seem But still I need to feel there's more That lies beyond the open door Like autumn leaves that fall and die No answers come from asking "Why" There is a plan laid out for me That will decide my destiny Come with me as I walk this road Our journey's end we cannot know I'll be there when the others leave I have faith, and courage to believe The questions echo in the night But fade as dawn brings forth her light All things will pass, but on I go The rhyme and reason? Well, who can know? Karen Shaw Matteson © 2001 |
