Where to go for happiness
I must find my way
Open door to freedom
Heart decides to stay

Years of time and moments
Somehow seem to fade
Dreams of all my yesterdays
Within a step betrayed

Decisions just a battle
This spirit has to give
Knowing which direction
To take so I can live

Should I go beyond this door
To know what can begin
Or should I stay for comfort
This dilemma is so grim

Only I can choose this path
The one that makes me see
Whatever joy beyond this door
It must begin with me

Faith to know the path in life
These thoughts are so concealed
Within the heart my spirit knows
These truths must be revealed.
