Lyrics

Do You Know Where You're Going To?
(Theme From ‘Mahogany’)

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Do you get what you're hoping for
When you look behind you, there's no open door
What are you hoping for
Do you know

Once we were standing still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you but my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions that you once asked of me

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we'll see
How sad the answer to those questions can be

Do you know where you're going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

Do you get what you're hoping for
When you look behind you, there's no open door
What are you hoping for
Do you know
