There you are at a fork in the road
Don't know where you're going
So you're just going slow
You're afraid if you have to choose
You win less than you lose
Don't you know..
Everybody's got to take a chance
Everybody's go to make a stand
You'll be choosing in the end
'Cause this is your life, my friend
Ain't nobody can put the ropes on you
But keeping your freedom
Has you tied up, too
While you sit trying to decide
There's so many things that you
Could have tried
Everybody's got to take a chance
Everybody's go to make a stand
You'll be choosing in the end
'Cause this is your life, my friend
Something final in a closing door
Reminds you that you're not so
Young anymore
And you see your death presaged
The turning of a heart
The turning of a page
Everybody's got to take a chance
Everybody's go to make a stand
You'll be choosing in the end
'Cause this is your life, my friend
Everybody's got to take a chance
Everybody's go to make a stand
You'll be choosing in the end
'Cause this is your life, my friend
