[Verse 1]
Some people have written books
Some have a great look that covers the magazines
For kids who are seventeen
But I don't know what to do
I'm staring into the blue sky
And just waiting for a sign

[Pre-Chorus]
Some, they are certain
Of what awaits them
When it all ends

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't know what will happen to me
Will I be remembered in this century?
Or will I be forgotten?
Like dust in the wind?
Or the talk of the town that we are living in?
Well I don't know
I don't know
How could I know what lies ahеad of me?
Am I part of a grander master plan?
Will I bе washed away like lines in the sand?

[Verse 2]
Some people they put their faith
Into someone who's half their age
Reading from a torn out page
From a book filled with lies
But I don't know what to do
I'm staring into the blue sky
And just waiting for a sign
[Pre-Chorus]
Some, they are certain
Of what awaits them
When it all ends

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't know what will happen to me
Will I be remembered in this century?
Or will I be forgotten?
Like dust in the wind?
Or the talk of the town that we are living in?
Well I don't know
I don't know
How could I know what lies ahead of me?
Am I part of a grander master plan?
Will I be washed away like (the) lines in the sand?

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ah)
Eh, yeah, mmm, ah, yah

[Bridge]
But I don't know what will happen to me
Will I be a remembered in this century?
Or will I be forgotten?
Like dust in the wind?
Or the talk of the town that we are
That we are living in?
[Chorus]
I don't know what will happen to me
Will I be remembered in this century?
Or will I be forgotten?
Like dust in the wind?
Or the talk of the town that we are living in?
Well I don't know
I don't know
How could I know what lies ahead of me?
Am I part of a grander master plan?
Will I be washed away (just) like lines in the sand?
