I'm on fire
Burning with the question in my mind
Strange desire
Seems there's nothing else for me to find
'Cause I've been here, and I've been there,
Seems like I've been everywhere before
I've seen it all a hundred times
Still I think there surely must be more
I've been livin', I had to take my time and change my style
Now I wonder is something gonna make it all worthwhile
I know there's more than meets the eye
Like to see it 'fore I die for sure.
Something tells me it's all right
Only one step farther to the door
There ain't no feelin', feels the same as findin' out the key
Now I'm reelin', thinking of the things that I might see
I'm not afraid to face the light
I'm not afraid to think that I might fall
I was going nowhere fast
I was needing something that would last

Kansas plays very well with this song.
I love this song and I think it is showing a great desire for change, after the narrator has changed his/herself. This song really expresses the way I felt myself a while ago.
I think this song is about how, even if you saw everything in the world a hundred times over, there would still be those unexplained questions about life.
i always loved this song.
The songs is no doubt about the search for the meaning of life. Kerry found it in christian faith; Steve is probably still searching...
