I may get around I may laugh a lot Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got Nobody knows Nobody sees Ain't nobody really knows the inner side of me I may seem secure I could have it made You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade Nobody knows what dreams I see Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be But everybody has a place and time A chance to live A need to find We all got somethin' that we care about I propose you find it out It's not in a book Or a magazine Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen Nobody knows It's up to me Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be I see my future at the rainbow's end Happy hours Timeless friends And if I ever chance to find my way Rest assured I will stay You may see your life as a compromise You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes Nobody knows It's meant to be Let the magic of the moment say it all to me
