[Verse 1]
What will the future hold?
How will I be rewarded?
Have I the right to riches
In a world where there are no prizes?

[Verse 2]
Who makes the clock tick by
When will my fate be ready?
Do I get prior warning?
Am I told? Are there no surprises?

[Chorus]
I have to count my blessings
I have to learn my lessons
My fate is in the balance
I must go on believing

[Verse 1]
What will the future hold?
How will I be rewarded?
Have I the right to riches
In a world where there are no prizes?

[Verse 2]
Who makes the clock tick by
When will my fate be ready?
Do I get prior warning?
Am I told? Are there no surprises?
[Chorus]
I have to count my blessings
I have to learn my lessons
My fate is in the balance
I must go on believing

[Verse 1]
What will the future hold?
How will I be rewarded?
Have I the right to riches
In a world where there are no prizes?

[Verse 2]
Who makes the clock tick by
When will my fate be ready?
Do I get prior warning?
Am I told? Are there no surprises?

[Verse 1]
What will the future hold?
How will I be rewarded?
Have I the right to riches
In a world where there are no prizes?

[Verse 2]
Who makes the clock tick by
When will my fate be ready?
Do I get prior warning?
Am I told? Are there no surprises?
