Only Two Choices

Some times life seems completely insane

And we have no one else that we can blame

Letting things get way to far out of hand

Before we stepped up to take a stand

Then we look around wondering what next to do

Thinking that none of this could really be true

Not like the picture we once could see

Now more faded it could never be

Nothing like this was in the major plan

To get back to that there's no way we can

Many fires we have already burning

In areas where we are simply still learning

Could it be in time of success we'll get a little taste

Or will it be time and money only that we waste

Either way we can easily and clearly accept

Not a minute will we ever regret

Of the choices we only see two

Doesn't really matter if it's me or you

First is to just stop sit back and cry

Or we learn something smile and give it another try

One way or another it will all work out

Isn't that what the American Dream is all about!
