Spoilt For Choice

She stood on the shoulders of giants
They called themselves her parents
What they'd gone through never more apparent
As she counted what she had that they hadn't

Make your way through this world my girl
His hand on her brow adored her
The affection viewed as pressure by her eyes
How much did he want for her?

Here she was in a world so large, so bright
So many things to do if she could just do them right
How did she ever choose when she didn't know what she'd like?

Degree after degree, course after course
The print flew by her, the print flew from her
She forgot where she was

This is what they do I must do it too
I can't stagnate I must do something
Years of work still gave her nothing

She was unhappy with it all
Still too afraid to stall
Afraid she'd lose it all
What if there was nothing to lose?

So she drifted ahead like a log at sea
Till she couldn't take it anymore
And resigned at last from what
Had never been hers to do

She took the year she should have taken
She broke the monotony she should have broken
She finally stood up and let herself awaken
To a choice she should have always taken

Though spoilt for choice I may be
I've got the guts to choose whats meant for me
Even if it means I have to step aside
Instead of a formula stated by someone else
Listen to the voice I have inside...
