whoKRS - Crossroad (From The Musical Money Or Music) Lyrics

Stage lights a memory, a faded applause,
A young voice that carried the heart of a cause.
Melodies whispered, awards on a shelf,
A future of music, a life for myself.

But the world cast a shadow, a promise so sly,
Security's treasure, a future so high,
To waive all my passion, the songs and the rhyme,
For suits and for numbers, one beat at a time.

I am at a crossroad, the path splits in two,
One whispers of comfort, the other of dew.
The fork in the road, my life hangs in air,
The melody's compass will guide me with care.

Twenty years echoed, a melody hushed,
Visiting Broadway, a dream faintly crushed.
Applauding reflections in concert halls,
A flicker of fire, but hidden by walls.

Then a song on the radio, a voice bittersweet,
I remember my past, emotions complete.
My pen finds the paper, my lyrics take flight,
Words long imprisoned, bursting forth with might.

I am at a crossroad, the path splits in two,
One whispers of comfort, the other of dew.
The fork in the road, my life hangs in air,
The melody's compass will guide me with care.

Years of restriction, a dam starts to break,
The fire's relentless, a chance now to take,
It's risen and strengthened, with stories to tell,
This time, the music will shatter the shell.

The world's whispers fade, a new light takes hold,
Emotions break through, a power so bold.
Breaking the shackles, the music's my guide,
My fire's ignited, with music inside.

Oh, my passion will rise, and I want to tell,
That music's my freedom, and I'm feeling well.
