There comes a time
In everyone’s life
To decide
What’s important
What’s worth fighting for
What to let go of
Sometimes it’s the smallest thing
That sets us on this course
Of deciding
Sometimes it’s a big thing
It’s different for each one of us
As we get older
It gets clearer
What we will stand for
What we will ignore
And once we decide
Our focus is laser sharp
Our aim is true
No confusion
Chaos fades around us
We stand firm on our conviction
Others can sense it
Some respect our resolve
Some laugh at our foolishness
Some fear our determination
We only wish
That trust in ourselves had come
