Two Roads
Diverged in a golden wood
All uncertain, I paused and stood
And tried to see the better way
Two Roads Two roads
Then I saw that there weren’t two
There were four, there were eight then more
Each would lead to a hundred score
I couldn’t choose!
Ev’ry choice killed a million dreams
So I stood there, frozen and scared
Hid my head and never dared
Never took another step
Along the road.
Flip a coin, make a choice make a sound use your voice
Take a step move your ass don’t let all these moments pass
Eeny meenie miney moe
Don’t just wait here in the road
Cut the cards, roll the dice
Curtain one is looking nice
Tempus fugit if you blink time to act and not just think
Lick a finger, see which way the wind blows
Let yourself go
Don’t let the middle of the road
Become the ending of your life
Two Roads
A choice in each breath I take
Every motion I choose to make
It’s hard to see the better way
Two Roads Two roads
Does the card bear a heart or spade?
I want to give it but I’m afraid
What if my love will be betrayed”
Why can’t I move?!
Nothing ventured means nothing gain’d
But I stand here, frozen and scared
Raise my head but, will I dare?
To take that first or final step
Along the road.
