The Path's We Choose
A time comes when a man must choose
A life of security
or
A life of passion
The two cannot coexist
Except in the few lucky ones
Who’s passions are so polished
That the livers of security
Will pay for glimpses
Of that passion
They live through the art
Through the passion
And they wish
That was the path they would’ve chosen
The starving artist
Looks at the life of security with envy
As he struggles to sell his art
As he faces rejection
After rejection
After rejection
As he barely pays the bills
And drives around in an old beater
As the ones around him question his life decisions
And he continues to struggle
For the sake of his passion
Then there are those whose passion
Is making money.
Be careful of these ones
They will sell your soul for
a vacation
They will sell everyone's soul
for power
What path will you choose?
