The Path We Take
All of us want something.
But what is it were chasing?
Is it just the feeling of completing a long journey?
Or are we all competing in one big tourney?
Oh this life,hard as it seems
Our actions backed by hopes and dreams
Picking sides on pointless things
Themes of dreams creating teams
We lean towards this and protest that
But why is it we choose attack?
When we return to the homes we dwell,
Most likely well attack ourselves
And wonder if life is well spent
Or if were simply just content?
I was one to chase a goal
But life is but a totem pole
Fighting others to achieve great wealth
But the only competition is yourself
See everything seems all set in stone
But think next time when youre alone,
"Am I doing what I want?
Or is it for more wealth to flaunt?
Is it expressing my feelings out loud?
Or just to make my parents proud?"
Dont beat yourself up,be sure of this
Next time you feel your goals were missed
None are alike,were like snowflakes
Its a matter of simply The Path We Take
