A woman who I’d spoken to had told me secret things
Of men she’d know and children grown, of sturdy diamond rings
She left this year but made it clear was happy with her time
She told me who, a man she knew, could help me with my climb
The man she knew, he looked into his great big crystal ball
He smiled at once and said he knew the meaning of it all
he turned away and with a wave just vanished from the hall
And where he’d stood a message showed engraved upon the wall
Do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Say what you want to say
Never looking back, never looking back
The crystal ball foresees it all, the future and the past
In practiced hands, the ball demands submission to the last
The man she knew, and now me too, complete a sacred chant
A crystal ball, a china doll, a vision to supplant
The peace of mind you’re supposed to find in meditation’s trance
Reveals itself, it’s splendid wealth with intimate romance
And young girls do, and young boys too compete in social dance
And no one spoke, but words unspoke exchanged in fleeting glance
Do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Say what you want to say
Never looking back, never looking back
And all things end as they began, we’re always facing death
The mystery time, the peace sublime, the everlasting breath
The girls and boys, the man and me, we face it with the rest
Of all I knew, was woman who has taken on the test
Do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Say what you want to say
Never looking back, never looking back
1988 lyrics
A woman who I’d spoken to had told me secret things
Of men she’d known and children grown, of sturdy diamond rings
She left this year but made it clear was happy with her time
She told me who, a man she knew, could help me with my climb
The man she knew, he looked into his great big crystal ball
He smiled at once and said he knew the meaning of it all
He turned away and with a wave just vanished from the hall
And where he’d stood a message showed engraved upon the wall
Do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Say what you want to say
Never looking back, never looking back
The crystal ball foresees it all, the future and the past
In practiced hands, the ball demands submission to the last
The man she knew, and now me too, complete a sacred chant
A crystal ball, the empty hall, a woman and a man
The peace of mind you’re supposed to find in meditation’s trance
Reveals itself, it’s splendid wealth with intimate romance
And young girls do, and young boys too compete in social dance
And no one spoke, but words unspoke exchanged in fleeting glance
Do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Say what you want to say
Never looking back, never looking back
And all things end as they began, we’re always facing death
The mystery time, the peace sublime, the everlasting breath
The girls and boys, the man and me, we face it with the rest
Of all I knew, there’s not one who has taken on the test
When you have done the things you want to do
When you can be the one you want to be
When you can say the things you need to say
You’ll come to find your way
You’ll come to find your way
You’ll come to find your way
