Big Choices
We’re going downtown
all the Indians dancing on the floor
do you want some more
it’s barely four
every time he smokes clouds gather round
and rain comes pouring down
he remembers pain and that distant memory
he remembers the good times were so easy
but he couldn’t see how easy they could leave
he would always turn before he could learn
life’s little lessons
the little lessons were big difficulties
big choices became a little change
like a fistful of dollars in his pocket
only made him fight
in the back of his mind
where did the fight come from
what was left
just him and himself
what’s good in being a strong man
if you can’t be yourself
and what’s good in being important
if you don’t have your own life
he would always turn before he could learn
life’s little lessons
the little lessons were big difficulties
big choices became a little change
it’s hard to find this man
from everywhere he’s been
did he find his happy medium
will anyone ever see him
