Proceed

Proceed

I wanted to change my habit but I never did,
Tried to change for the better but never succeed,
Walked the wrong path but never receded,
Thought of the future but never proceed;

Is this who I am, a man of merely words,
Is this who I am, a man without actions,
Is this who I am, a man full of dreams,
Is this who I am, stuck here forever, never to proceed?

Maybe I should stop brooding,
Maybe I should start repenting,
Maybe I should stop pausing,
And start proceeding to the future I had long been painting;

Perhaps the way there will be full of obstacles,
Perhaps it will be full of pleasure,
Perhaps it will be just a plain path,
Anyway, I had to proceed no matter which it's gonna be;

Could the future be the same as I'd painted,
Could it be better than that I'd planned,
Could it be different from what I'd expected,
Even so, there is nothing to do but proceed and see;

I had to proceed even if the future is bleak,
I had to proceed even if the future is far from reach,
I had to proceed even if it cost more that I can give,
I had to proceed because it is my destiny.
