Which Way....

Am I confused

Or just unsure

If I don’t know who is knocking

Still I open the door

I cannot be afraid of change

Even though it is new

And my seem a little strange

I don’t know where that door leads

Or if I should follow

I don’t know which way to go

I don’t know what’s in store

For me tomorrow



As the door opens

I don’t know which way to go

Still I chose a direction

As if I already know

I know I must move forward

And not look behind

I’ll find where that door leads me

In due time

It can lead me to victory

Or defeat

But at the end of that door

There’s something I will meet

I may see a light

That leads me to another door

I may see darkness

That leads me to nothing more





Whether I meet light or darkness

To all tomorrows

I opened that door

And chose to follow
