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
