The life you chose
There's never a list for it
Of cons and pros
You find what you love
And you commit
And you're looking so far down
The road so well
That you could forget your crown
Isn't just somewhere else
Chorus:
You get bumped and bruised and worse
For choosing the road less traveled
You know the reward is rich
If you persist
Through the darkest battles
Open your eyes
Your prize is right before you
Somehow
Whatever you do
Just don't miss now
You're on a bus
Don't notice the miles and months fly by
To the rest of us
You're living the highest kind of life
I know the price you pay
Is costlier than it seems
It's worth another day
The end justifies the means
Repeat Chorus
All that you're working for
Could blind you to the treasures
All around you
Don't miss these moments, please
The joy before the crown you seek
Bumped and bruised and worse
You know the reward is rich
Repeat Chorus
Open your eyes
Your prize is right before you
Somehow
Whatever you do
Just don't miss now
