Family family, we are one?

'Heart don't fail me now, courage don't desert me, don't turn back now that we're here. People always say life is full of choices, no one ever mentions fear. Or how the world can seem so vast .... One step at a time, One hope then another. Who knows where this road may go. Back to who I was, on to find my future, things my heart still needs to know. Yes, let this be your sign, let this road be mine .. and bring me home, at last.'

As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we
Don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned
But you'll see every day
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are
We are one

Here I stand

On this road that I travel alone

The walk was easier when it was one big road

Now there are many

Which to choose

Which to path to take

I have no clue

Each path comes with its hurdles

With its own mountains and hills

And many rivers to cross

Maybe I will find companions on my journey

People to offer their two cents

And maybe I won't

I don't know

The only thing I know

Is that I'm hard pressed for time

And everyone breathes down my neck

Decisions.... Choices

People are waiting

To hand over their load

People are eager to know

If I pick the path they think is right

If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?
Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?

Things were easier when I was younger

Things were simpler

I miss playing in the sandbox

And with the little fishes in the pond

I miss taking walks through the garden

Talking about being a doctor today

And about being an architect tomorrow

I was confused then

I am confused now

Can I be a comedian?

Can I be a writer?

Can I be a seamstress?

Can I really be whatever I want?

Or were you all just pulling my legs?

The decisions I have already made

I cannot reverse them

The decisions I will make

Depend on those I have already made

To start over?

Or to continue?

When I fail, when I fall, when I'm sad

How dare you judge me

How dare you chastise me

When the one who is most important to me doesn't

'You can be whatever you want'

'Its your life'

Then why is everyone else asking me..

Why this? Why not that?

When this? When that?

Why did you not do this?

How about you all kiss my ass!

Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on
Your journey has only begun
Tears of pain, tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one
We are one, you and I
We are like the earth and sky
One family under the sun
All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you needYou will find when you see
We are one

Here I stand

At the point where you last saw me

A little support that is all I ask

Just stand, watch and cheer as I run the race

It cannot be that hard to do

I don't need the stress

And I do not need the drama

You ask.. 'What are you doing?'

I want to ask.. 'What are your children doing?'

You say.. 'Why did you not do this'

I say.. 'Times have changed. Can't you see?'

So I talk to the ones who provide courage

The ones who offer support and advice

The ones who call in to say 'How do you do?'

With them.. I am one

And everyone else can kiss my ass!!

Tears of pain, tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one
