Life has its little secrets,
And knows what is ahead,
But us knowing, isn't a good idea,
Or we'd all live in dread.
I don't want to know…
What my future holds in store,
I don't think I could cope,
Knowing what more I'm for.
Me body's already knackered,
So me future's probably bleak,
Why would I want to know any more?
It's not sadness that I seek!
I want to be able to look ahead,
Without any tale of woe,
And when I finally snuff it…
I don't want to know how I'll go.
So I'll not look too far ahead,
But just one day at a time,
Happy, sad, silly or mad,
I don't care, as long as I'm fine.
I want to wake in the morning,
To a day of secrets in store,
Whatever life brings, I'm prepared,
As long as I know the score.
I know my life's not active,
Glam, or healthily set,
But I don't really care,
For I'm stuck with what I get.
I don't want much in life,
And I don't want to know what's ahead,
For my dad always said; 'don't rush your life,
'For we are all a long time dead!'
A very clever man, my dad,
For he knew what he was about,
Life is for the living,
He was in no doubt.
'No use crying,' he'd tell us,
When sad news came our way,
We had to accept our losses,
For we face a brand new day.
Secrets in life's for a reason,
And ours is not to know why,
For the secret in life, will one day appear,
When we rise into the sky.
So until then I'm happy,
And I'll not push to know,
I'll plod on with my sheltered life,
Until it's time for me to go!
