When I was younger I looked beyond the stars
And saw my future
A boy not yet a man
But that which I breathe and envisioned everyday
Seemed only an opportunity away
I see a path not yet touched
Roads not yet made
And they’re calling my name
For I hold within me
That which will surpass all obstacles
As I travel this journey call life

In my minds eye
I feed upon life’s lessons
And nourish upon their sacred meaning
As this spine of steel
Stands strong and upright
And become the me -- no longer cocooned
But that which yearns to be set free

Now as I face this crossroad in my life
A fork lies before me
Not yet traveled and covered by virgin feet
My choice if I decide to choose
Would give life to that future
And breathe a breath of opportunity
As I birth life into a man
Destined to be
That sharper image -- once sheltered
Now lies awakened within me
