The Secret To Life

Do you want to know
The secret to life?
I'll tell you
But first I have to ask
Why you want to know

If I tell you it
It won't be a secret

Maybe
There have been many secrets
That get told
And are now every day blessings
Or every day curses
That were once a secret
Locked away

Maybe
The secret to life
Isn't a secret
It's just hard to see
Hard to understand
Or so hard to ignore
That it's become something
You just don't think about anymore
Seen 99 times before
And maybe that hundredth
Will turn a coat tail
Into a dragon

Do you want to know
The secret to life?
I'll tell you
But first I have to figure it out
For myself
