Success and Happiness Is Where the Heart Lays

Life is a grand stage filled with many pathways That we must find our direction To break away from our families protection So we are able to see the opportunities That is surrounding all sides of me Should I go to college for a four-year degree To create some kind of job security Or should I take a dream job cruising the high seas Basking in the sun seeing the world having fun Or should I stay in my hometown With a job I have found that isn't very sound Always having friends and family around Or should I go with my heart To find the right place to start With a woman who is very smart Who picks me up when I am down She helps keep my feet on the ground Who excepts me even when I'm out of bounds She is adventurous and my all-around gal That would be calling foul if I was to leave now Since the choice is all mine I will take no time to define I could spend a lifetime trying to find Another to unwind a love that is this refined Rather than chasing a career that grinds That leaves an empty feeling in my mind Because I left her behind Time is what you make it so don't fake it Or brake it but rather make it your own Choose a path that leads to happiness That is full of your every wish Creating a pathway that takes us away Too many destinations where we will play Leads to the place we grow up and stay So we don't have to worry about our choices yesterday Because success and happiness is where the heart lays
