To Never Know

What if I am not who I should be.
The truth of that I may never see.
What can we do to change lifes course.
To break through shields of destiny's force.

I'll have to settle for what I have found.
The silence of questioning is a deafening sound.
If I can't believe that I'm on the right track.
I'll never know if I can find my way back.

So what if will never be answered for me.
The truth of my life, is I'll be what I'll be.
The answer to wondering if I made mistakes.
I've learned in life, that that's just the breaks.
