Why Predict The Future?

All my years I've seen the patterns
The highest of highs are followed by the deepest of lows
My oh my can't believe this happened
Can't believe it happened
It goes to show, how little we know

If you couldn't see this coming
Why are you predicting?
If you couldn't see this coming
Then why?
If you couldn't see this coming
Why are you predicting?
If you couldn't see this coming
Then why predict the future?

Nowhere to be, nothing to achieve
The owl in the night, the watchful eye watching life as it goes
Can you see the absurdity?
Are you living a narrative or reality?

If you couldn't see this coming
Why are you predicting?
If you couldn't see this coming
Then why?
If you couldn't see this coming
Then why are you predicting?
If you couldn't see this coming
Why predict the future?

Zoomin' out, now what do you see?
There's a whole lot more to this life than you and me
Zoomin' out, now what do you see?
There's a whole lot more to this life than you and me

If you couldn't see this coming
Then why predict the future?
