We can all remain newborn
Helpless, in need of assistance
Always letting others care for us
Without offering resistance
But infancy should lead us
Into life's experience
It's a growing thing to falter
When you come upon a fence
Chorus:
When you're standing at a crossroad
And it makes you want to hide
Because it seems too difficult
Deciding just what to decide
You should know it is the moments
Carrying unease and strife
That are what define who you are
They're the markers of your life
In short time we do discover
Life is not all fun and games
But tough choices lead us all to grow
Sometimes sorrows are worth the gains
Your life will never be a handout
Or a script to follow through
But soon you'll find that working life
Is the best way to become you
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
The hard times are your markers
They define just who you are
At a time before you change
Remaining you, becoming more
The road of life is challenging
With forks at every bend
The directions that you follow
Lead to who your are my friend
Repeat Chorus
