Holding On

As I walked along the seashore Looking at the sand Someone came beside me And took me by the hand There were no words involved here I knew what I had to do I had to turn around right then And walk back towards you The turn made everything strange The ground became new to me Every single grain of sand Everything that I could see Then another came along And took a hold of me Tried to turn me back again To the person I used to be I was stood still in my journey Though I knew where I had to go But things were heating up now Which direction I didn’t know To figure this out I needed help My two guides were sound asleep What was I to do then? Which life should I choose to keep? To anyone else this looks pointless But I knew I had to choose I knew that with this new guide I would most certainly lose The first guide that came to me Awoke and started to leave When I started to walk along with him More faith I did receive The more I follow and start to learn The easier this becomes But let this thing remind you That temptation, yet hidden, comes.
