You dance along the paths of life
Longing to be recognized
Stumbling 'round your dim lit room
The music playing out of tune
Free to stand is free to fall
And soon you'll land against the wall
Maybe the obstacles I've got to face
Are there for good reason and I've got their place
To draw my attention to maps on the wall
'Cause I know I'm there for it all
And I want to know
(I want to know)
Yes I want to know
(I want to know)
'Cause I want to know
Which way to go
Where's your compass, what's your game
Dreams of fortune, dreams of fame
But all my questions, number one,
Is will I fail or overcome
Those who live by do or die
Find ambition eats you alive
And there stand the giants that I've got to face
Worry, discouragement, trouble, disgrace
And I need direction to help me get through
If all good intentions are through
'Cause I want to know
(I want to know)
Yes I want to know
(I want to know)
And I want to know
Which way
Not quite believeing that I'm really lost
I turn to the map for the roads to be crossed
And maybe these giants are pointing the way
And maybe they'll tell me someday
What I want to know
(I want to know)
'Cause I want to know
(I want to know)
Yes I want to know
Yeah I want to know
(I want to know)
'Cause I want to know
(I want to know)
Yes I want to know
Which way
