How Confused Are You

My eyes are open, My long sleep is over, I know whose side I stand by. I see where my loyalty lies, My voice will not falter, As I take a stand. I know there is a price to pay, That some I may have to leave behind, Going ahead instead with those I may not like, Who have been chosen by a higher authority. Another walks in front to pave the way, To a place I know not, How long the journey will take, Or how many wrong turns I will take, I know not. Yet my eyes are open, My heart is committed, To the part I must play, And the pain I have yet to suffer. To be confused is human, Yet to turn away from the light, For fear of temporary blindness, May only serve to make it a permanent state.
