I was free to choose my path
Free to go this way or that
I had this gift since my birth
To make or break what came my way
Sometimes my heart longed to tread
The ground untouched by human feet
To leave my marks on its virgin soil
But fear tugged at my heart
And I stepped on the road that’s weary
From the stamp of thousands of feet
I could have made a difference
I could have opened up new vistas
If I had taken a new road
If I hadn’t let fear hold me back.
