You questioned why
You made Mistakes
But never really
Weighed the stakes

You dipped and indulged
In a life full of bliss
But couldn't contemplate
All the things you would miss

Your friends and family
Gone for a time
Sitting in a place
Where the sun doesn't shine

You'll be out soon enough
Free as a bird
but will you stick with the crowd
or find a new herd

The choice is all yours
The old or the new
Better think quick
Or a sentence is due

Do you want to go back
And live in that place
Or live a great life
So full of grace

So before you go
and make mistakes
It's probably best
To weigh the stakes
