lyrics

Path ahead.
Forward march.
Walk the road when it turns dark.
Walk the road until you ask, “what is light?”
Walk the road until a decision must be made,
Left or right?
You’ve already dismissed the leashes that held you back.
You’ve called away the voices whispering choices in your ear,
Like they’re telling the waiter that you want chicken fingers, pink lemonade, and more crayons,
When in reality, you wanted a Dr. Pepper and some sliders.
When you reach your hand back, you expect to find a wall there,
A phone booth telling you what to do.
But as your hand separates protons from electrons,
You find yourself vaguely remembering that you marched away from that wall.
You know that whatever choice you make right now will affect just how far you walk…
And it did.
And you scream down the paths of choices you made on your own,
You scream at the wall and you say,
“Thank you for everything!” And you mean it.
“Thank you for the support.
Thank you for the guidance.
But, most importantly,
Thank you for not catching up.”
