Crossroads

Russell Calvin

I'm standing at the crossroads 
There are many roads to take 
But I stand here so silently 
For fear of a mistake 
One path leads to paradise 
One path leads to pain 
One path leads to freedom 
But they all look the same. 

I've travelled many roads 
And not all of them where good 
The foolish ones taught more to me 
Than the wise ones ever could 
One path leads to sacrifice 
One path leads to shame 
One path leads to freedom 
But they all look the same. 

There were roads I never travelled 
There were turns I did not take 
There were mysteries that I left unravelled 
But leaving you was my only mistake. 

So I'm standing at the crossroads 
Imprisoned by this doubt 
As if by doing nothing 
I might find my way out 

One path leads to paradise 
One path leads to pain 
One path leads to freedom 
But they all look the same
