So Convenient

The road of life has many turns
That could lead to fulfillment
But straight down the trodden way
The sheep need the shepherd
Follow the Judas bull along always
Never stray never wander
Steady is the flow of souls
To worn and weary to what is
Fear is not knowing
Fear is a stop sign
Acceptance is comfort
Belonging is convenient

A spirit wild dares to see
A path dark and full of weeds
Tempted to follow his inner heart
But rushes back when the mass departs
Ever will he ask
What if I chose the untrodden path
What cost is freedom to be free
What cost is it for me to be me
What wonders adventures lie ahead
What if... what if...  never to know

Assimilate into the flow
Following following down the road
Following following down the road
It's easy to believe so convenient

I stopped at the fork of life
And watched the world race by
I turn back to step on their shadows
