the day runs on
dreary and cold
all you're looking for
is someone who's been told
the secrets of life
you searched high
and low
for the one who holds the key
nowhere left to go
only you and me
secrets like these
are meant to be that way
the owner won't let them free
sure we feel
they'd help us out
but we aren't better off knowing
what life's all about
pain and suffering
are things we're meant to feel
it's up to us
to decide to make them real
the secrets you seek
rest deep inside
life puts them there
and we take them for a ride
