Not Knowing

Being surprised can set you free
There's nothing in your life that will be the same
It's not knowing what's next that encourages me
No one knows the "name of the game"
and living life to the fullest becomes my aim.
You live your life and enjoy it.
While living in the unknown I refuse to quit.
