It's my desire to find my way,
A course that leads to truth's cafe,
A russet path not yet well used,
and times of trouble not excused,
As wisdom fuels this marked ballet.
I grow and learn along the way,
From parents, friends, their thoughts convey,
Innocent and unabused,
... to find my way.
My journey's not a passion play,
A show I watch, then chase away.
And let me not be found accused,
Of chasing dreams, false and diffused,
Toward my final cabaret.
... to find my way.
