I came to a bend in the road just the other day. In a dusty forlorn desert at the edge of town. A narrow one way street with no room for cars to meet. And I must make the choice whether to skip town or stick around. It only goes one way, this lonely barren path. So I guess I must decide on the direction I will take. The fear of losing what lies behind is all that holds me back. But human nature fears change, and I am one to defy humanity. To find satisfaction, I am afraid there is to be one choice. Because to live a caring reckless life. The one way street knows best. So goodbye my sweet safety net town I must put my acrobat skills to the ultimate test.

Letting Go of the Safety Net
I came to a bend in the road just the other day. In a dusty forlorn desert at the edge of town. A narrow one way street with no room for cars to meet. And I must make the choice whether to skip town or stick around. It only goes one way, this lonely barren path. So I guess I must decide on the direction I will take. The fear of losing what lies behind is all that holds me back. But human nature fears change, and I am one to defy humanity. To find satisfaction, I am afraid there is to be one choice. Because to live a caring reckless life. The one way street knows best. So goodbye my sweet safety net town I must put my acrobat skills to the ultimate test.
