Simple Decisions:


“Don’t get off this merry-go-round”


Climb up to the tallest horse

Buckle up, get ready for the journey

Listen closely, the music is circling

We start to hear our own kind of melody

It starts out slow, nice

Ends with a fight

You say


“Don’t get off this merry-go-round”


Straps are beginning to tighten

Letting go, it would be losing what I know

Song pounding through the speakers

Creating the voice in my head

I say


“Don’t get off this merry-go-round”



Flying with it, higher than the moon and stars

The ride comes to a screech

Hearing this is your chance

Two decisions galloping my way

Set it in a slow pace

Now I’m thinking...

“Don’t get off this merry-go-round”
