Our Guessing Game Lyrics
Walking in the sand
Thinking of things, adventures in my mind
Of tall ships that sail
Across the oceans wide.
They won't wait for me,
See how they glide away so gracefully
And, with tomorrow, what will become of me?
They leave me so much to explain,
That's the start of our guessing game.
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Wonder why we try so hard?
Wonder why we try at all?
You wonder why the world is turning around,
In the end it won't matter at all.
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Standing in the town,
Looking at people counting their frowns,
Unhappy faces hurrying around
So blind they cannot see
All of the things,
The way life ought to be
And, with tomorrow, what will they make of me?
It leaves me so much to explain,
That's the start of our guessing game.
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
There are times when I think I've found the truth.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Thinking of things, adventures in my mind
Of tall ships that sail
Across the oceans wide.
They won't wait for me,
See how they glide away so gracefully
And, with tomorrow, what will become of me?
They leave me so much to explain,
That's the start of our guessing game.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Wonder why we try at all?
You wonder why the world is turning around,
In the end it won't matter at all.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Looking at people counting their frowns,
Unhappy faces hurrying around
So blind they cannot see
All of the things,
The way life ought to be
And, with tomorrow, what will they make of me?
That's the start of our guessing game.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
There are times when I know that I'm wrong.
There are days when I try to hide my fears.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.
Bless the days when I'm feeling strong.

hmm kinda sad that no one wants to comment on a song with such meaning
@MoodyFan66 And meanwhile you didn't comment! ??!

The lyrics are so straightforward that it's difficult to comment on the song. Just as the name of it implies, it's a guessing game as to what it means, but in following the overarching theme of EGBDF, the band is laying it all out in a thought-provoking manner, simply, imho, to cause us to pause & reflect on this deeper meaning of life.
