Life will diverge at times and
Then you have the choice
Which path should you take?
Where will you find your voice?
One appears to unravel
Like the road you’ve been on
You take the other and with a new map
Excitement lifts you, as though you’ve just won
Winning, though, is not something that happens
Just because you would like
You have to be willing to prepare for the trip
Or else you’re just another traveler on the “pike”
Travel reality or turn to fantasy
What you did you enjoyed at the time
When it’s over you miss what could have been
Feel like you’ve been left hanging on the line
You are one traveler and
Responsible for choosing your path well
You’re constantly wishing for the one not taken
Someone, I guess, has to ring your bell
Can’t always blame someone else
For taking your chance away
Don’t say you wanted it like it always was
After you decide to go the other way
Today is today and you have one life
There’s enough guilt and blame to go around
Get over yourself and think of others
Step-by-step, keep your feet on the ground
