The Decision

When I was young I looked at life differently
Through a small lens of scope

Now that I'm old let the truth be told...
A lie is still a lie and the truth a truth

Made a choice to turn to a power
That's much greater then myself

Some put that book right back on the shelf
As a child I looked up at the clouds

Making beautiful pictures of the vast formations
As the many years would pass

I had every reason in which to grasp
Life's greatest mysteries to impart

There's a line being drawn in the sand
Hopefully someday all will understand

Shadows block the memory from my mind
One word in the dark has come to light

Never relent to ever give up on the fight.
