[Chorus 1]
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?

[Chorus 2]
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?

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
Now looking back on all we've planned
We let so many dreams slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see (Before we see)
How sad the answer to those questions can be?

[Chorus 1]
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?

[Chorus 2]
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, baby?

[Outro]
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Baby
Mmm

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
