I'm looking in from the outside   I wish my mind could read the score   Some day a door will open   Then I'll know then I'll see   What I'm striving for      If I could get an answer   If someone would give me a clue   I know I'd feel much better   But I can't find anyone   To put my question to      And when I'm older and wiser   And I look back on my youth   Will I be contented or will I see   Nothing but a vain search for the truth      And when I'm old and wiser   And I look back on my youth   Will I be contented or will I see   Nothing but a vain search for the truth      I wish I knew better baby   My mind wouldn't be so sore   Some day a door will open   Then I'll know then I'll see   What I'm striving for      I'm looking in from the outside   I wish my mind could read the score   Some day a door will open 'faint' search. No,   Then I'll know then I'll see   What I'm striving for      If I could get an answer   If someone would give me a clue   I know I'd feel much better   But I can't find anyone   To put my question to
