I Want to Know

I put my questions in the rosary box

And seven candles in the dark

And angels hover around this room

And they somehow know my heart

If I remembered you before I met you

And knew you were my man

If there's a reason I should know these things

If there's a mission or a plan

Then I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

From the river outside my window

To the blood inside my veins

When I'm crying in the yellow taxi

When I'm sleeping on the train

If I am now just a tragic figure

From an ancient mystery play

From a story you just had to tell me

When I would not go away

Then I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

You are driven in your own direction

And I will go my own

With your picture in a hidden locket

Carved from our heart stones

If there's a reason why this should not happen

A chance we will regret

Let's stop the carousel and stop the music

And show me the next step

'Cause I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know

I want to know
