You Never Know
Rachael Lampa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm looking for the signs waiting for the signal that you're there
If you ask why I believe- o the only thing that I could ever say
You never know when life will turn around
One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found
And you're not looking
And all I know it's outta my control
And you never know
When miracles should happen to appear
And when it comes down to it
There's nothing more that I can do down here
I want to place it in your hands
Even though I want to understand
You never know when life will turn around
One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found
And you're not looking
And all I know it's outta my control
And you never know
If you want to spend your life
In your design, you're only wasting time
