I Just Don't Know

I was the last born of a long line

A time for change and reckoning

Didn't talk much, but my eyes were wide

Just too young to take it in

I heard the yelling from the living room

Hidden secrets hard to keep

I think I held my breath from the age of two

Held by my sister till I sleep

Easy come and not so easy when it goes

How long do we have? I wanna know

Like a stream, you watch it flow

To the river as it grows, to the ocean's undertow

To the ether's ever-glow

I don't know

Didn't finish school, I guess I got a clue

Tried to break me down, bust me in two

Not too blind to see what's right in front of me

Too busy chasing down my destiny

Easy come and not so easy when it goes

How long do we have? I wanna know

Like a stream, yeah, you watch it come and go

To the river as it grows

Easy come and not so easy when it goes

How long do we have? I gotta know

Like a dream, yeah, you watch it go

To the river as it grows, to the ocean's undertow

To the ether's ever-glow

I just don't know

Where the time and heartaches go

And I don't know

But the road is long and the seeds of life are sown

So I'm the last one of the family

Still wide-eyed and wondering

They say it's easy come but not so easy when it goes

How long do we have? I wanna know

Like a stream, yeah, you watch it flow

To the river as it grows

Easy come and not so easy when it goes

How long do we have? I gotta know

Life's a dream now, you see it come and go

To the river as it grows, to the ocean's undertow

To the ether's ever-glow

To the river as it grows, to the ocean's undertow

To the ether's ever-glow

I don't know

I just don't know

I don't know
