My school days are over
I've cleaned out my desk
I take a last look over my shoulder
And wish my school all the best.
Back home, I'm in my room
There's a party all around me
But I'm in no mood for frivolity
And sit in my quiet solitude.
I don't know what to do
I've got a decision to make
I don't know which career to follow
Or which path to take.
I've conspired and consulted
Yet my destiny is still unclear
My fellow mates give endless advice
Nothing's just right over here.
Where to go, what to do
Questions whirling around my head
I walk around in a frenzy
And end up stubbing my toe on the bed.
My parents attempt to put me on the right path
From my father comes a wish to be a doctor
From my mother, a certainty that she'll agree with my choice
Yet I still don't know.
Suddenly it hits me
God has given me the answer
Why didn't I realise it before?
The idea is simplicity itself.
I pack my stuff
And shoulder my bag
It holds all essentials
And a few memories dear to me.
I'm on my way
Confident and sure
God will guide me while I'm
On a road to nowhere.
