Another Crossroads
Standing at another crossroads
On this journey we call life
Choices that could lead to happiness
Choices that could lead to strife
Thinking about my options
And which way that I might go
North or south or east or west
To a destination I don’t know
One path might be good for me
But not so much for ones I love
One path might lead to pleasures
Forbidden from up above
One path might lead to riches
One path might leave me broke
I seriously consider who might get hurt
These choices are not a joke
But I don’t want to take too long
Contemplating which path that I might take
Because I’ve found that just standing still
Is, by far, the bigger mistake
