I've been walking all alone in a sideshow
There has been passion and pain on this ride
There is a voice I hear calling
The voice rises from my souls very inside
For a time I didn't know what was calling
With my head as if lost at sea
But today I knew what was calling
It was all of my choices taunting me
I think of the people here in the sideshow
Like me they wonder around so confused
Every day they make their choices
But which ones do they choose?
We all go through life with choices
All as a blind man feeling his way
Always hoping for good choices
Ones that encourage the passion to stay
Passion can thrive on our choices
It can make our most memorable day
But a badly considered choice
Can chase forever our passion away
My trip has been filled with choices
Some rough and some divine
I have dealt with my choices
I have dealt with many that weren't mine
I am here near the end of the sideshow
I look back to where I have been
My eyes are filled with loneliness
I have lost most of the passion I've seen
When you get near the end of your sideshow
I hope you have learned from my way
I hope you make choices
That allows all your passions to stay
