Turn Around

Turn Around By Curtis Johnson A few years after you arrived, like a prodigal, you wouldn’t abide You soon began to run Now, you must return, To face the rising sun It’s time to stop and think about your unruly life For so long, you have been lonely You have cried over the pains in your life Now you think that you cannot rise above the bad habits, and resist poor advice There’s an extended hand saying, “Yes you can!” If you could start over, would you make the same choices? Would you listen to your friends, saying yes to their voices? Or would you take a stand, just say no, and get up and go? You are being hounded by the many poor decisions you have made You have been paying the costly consequences for the last decade Without delay, the time is now Only you can make the change From deep within, your life is pleading to be rearranged It matters not how far the past; A star will shine for you at last It matters not how deep the pain You need not worry over who’s to blame Don’t continue to the dead end ahead Use your head; turn around instead Make the change; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, and you’ll never be the same Cj010807
