Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't know what lies ahead
It's al la mystery man, I heard it said
You do your thing, you do your best
I take a guess at what happened next
[Verse 2]
All I've got is what I need
And that's enough as far as I can see
Why should I walk into the great unknown
When I can sit here and throw my bones?
[Verse 3]
I hear the future is so divine
But I'll just wait until I get a sign
'Cause what I got here, what I'm holding in my hand
Is better for me than some promised land
[Verse 4]
All I've got is what I need
And that's enough as far as I can see
Why should I walk into the great unknown
When I can sit here and throw my bones?
[Verse 5]
What's the rush, yeah, who's to say?
You can't escape tomorrow, it's another day
I'm hangin' here, I'm here on solid ground
'Cause heaven's full or closing down
[Verse 6]
All I've got is what I need
And that's enough as far as I can see
Why should I walk into the great unknown
When I can sit here and throw my bones?
Oh yeah
