One Stupid Question Songtext
von Michael Monroe

What am I doing here?
What are we doing here?
That′s the question of the day
Is it a privilege?
Is it a prison?
Is it a school?
Will we graduate?
And who is the teacher?
And what was the lesson?

I'd like to know if it′s not too late
But nobody asks anymore
Nobody wants to be a bore
And nobody wants to be the one to say

Well I've got one stupid question
That's been hanging in the back of my mind year after year
When I′m sitting by the fire in the moonlight
I just can′t help but wonder
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?


Will you still love me when I'm not pretty?
When I can′t sing anymore?
I hope I'm not there yet
Let me know if I missed it
I′ll do it till it don't sound good anymore
Or maybe when I′m 84
And I don't want to sing anymore
I just want to sit on the floor
And meditate a little more on that

One stupid question
That's been hanging in the back of my mind year after year
When I′m sitting by the fire in the moonlight
I just can′t help but wonder

What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?

Well maybe that's not the question
Maybe I′m wasting precious energy on things I'll never know
Why can′t I just live my life doing what I think is right
Doing what I hope will help me grow?
But I just can't ignore it
Can′t seem to let go of it
Like a dream that I can't recall in the day
And if life is really just a dream
I hope it's a really good dream
Cause when I wake up I′m gonna say


I′ve got one stupid question
That keeps hanging in the back of my mind year after year
When I'm sitting by the fire in the moonlight
I just can′t help but wonder

What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
What am I doing?
