Oh you might try for the happily ever after
You might scheme
You might cry in your quest for laughter
You might make your plans,
both big and small

But, know that you
Really don't decide at all.
No-one ever knows,
how their story goes
No-one ever knows,
how their story goes

"I didn't mean it like that"
is what you're going to say,
"I didn't know that it would turn out to be that way."
If that's what you're thinking
then you're not alone

Hundreds of folk before
you saw gold dreams become stone.
'Coz, friend No-one ever knows,
how their story goes
No-one ever knows,
how their story goes

Think a little deeper
Suppose you could see
Years into the future
And know what's going to be

Imagine life without surprises
Where nothing's left to doubt well,
what would there be to get happy about
You'd know the ending before you've even begun
The journey, then meaningless devoid of all the fun.

So thanks be!
No-one ever knows,
how their story goes
No-one ever knows,
how their story goes

It's not where you're going
It's the route you choose
and the way you cover the miles
in your dancing shoes.

Taking all the side roads
that come along the way
Seeing a new miracle
each and every day.

And when that gold
you thought of has turned to stone
Could be it's a diamond
that is your very own.

So search for the sparkle of dreams realised
Though in a shape that left you quite surprised.
And when you look back
at what used to be

And forward at what's coming
Delight in what you see
Your future, like a flower
each petal will unfold
Leaving you dazzled
by the fragrance it can hold.

So thanks be!
No-one ever knows,
how their story goes
No-one ever knows,
how their story goes
