I see a road that takes me close to where I want to go
Not completely there, but somewhere similar.
Somewhere I could be somewhat satisfied.
The road I’m on is busy, filled with people
Bumper to bumper, heading the same way
The same place I want to go
And seeing all of these people makes me think
Will I ever make it?

But if I take the other road,
I won’t go where I want to go.
