Lost on this Road

Here I am all alone.
All alone on this path,
this path they call life.
This dark, scary path
filled with uncertainty.

Here I am lost.
Where do I go?
All these forks in the road
confuse me.
Which path do I take?

Here I am all alone.
All alone on this road,
this road they call life.
This dark, scary road
filled with uncertainty.

Here I am, lost.
Where do I go?
All these forks in the road -
they confuse me.
Which path do I take?
Should I take a chance?
Should I take this road?
Where will this lead?
I’m not sure if this is the right one.
Where will I end up,
if I take this road?

Here I am, lost.
Voices steer me one way.
In this choice, I am alone.
It’s my decision,
It’s my fault -
if I don’t make it back home.
I’m lost, confused,
but I must choose.
Here goes nothing,
take a deep breath
and follow the path –
the uncertain path.
The path that decides
what happens in my life.
