Never know what to do
And never know what to say
The choice you make may make your path veer off in a stupid way
The sad thing is your decisions count every day
But won't be realized
For another 20 years
The yearbook stashed in a box
That stayed at your parents' place
The optimistic look on a young and optimistic face
The wrinkles burrowed like story lines on your skin
You won't know who you are
For another 20 years
By chance you go to the best college that you can afford
Or else you don't and instead take a year off to explore
Do you hunker, start work, which path is right for you now
It won't be realized
For another 20 years
You always thought that your life would be like some sitcom
You always cracking jokes and laughing and here you are
Do what you want
Say what you will
Or you'll never be free and your own
Say what you want
Do what you will
Yet the consequences won't be known
For 20 years
20 years
20 years
20 years
Should you marry the first one that you think you fell for?
Or is there better, someone who'll want to connect with you more?
Do you stay on your own avoiding the fuss?
You won't have a clue
For a decade or two.
Do you buy the house now and settle down in one place?
Or rent in case you decide to join the corporate steeplechase?
Risk pursuit of your dreams as when you were a child?
Or be more practical and do the true and tried?
You always knew that eventually you'd be bound yet
You thought that all possibilities would stick around
Do what you want
Say what you will
Or you'll never be free and your own
Say what you want
Do what you will
Yet the consequences won't be known
For 20 years
20 years
20 years
Never know what to do
And never know what to say
Suggestions may help when life delivers its peculiar haze
A road map can help, but would become a mere crutch
You must become yourself, you have to try your luck
You seldom think about decades during the grind
You never know after struggling what you might find
Do what you want
Say what you will
Or you'll never be free and your own
Say what you want
Do what you will
Yet the consequences won't be known
For 20 years
Can you wait that long?
20 years
In a flash it'll be gone.
