There you are at a fork in the road Don't know where you're going So you're just going slow You're afraid if you have to choose You win less than you lose Don't you know.. Everybody's got to take a chance Everybody's go to make a stand You'll be choosing in the end Cause this is your life, my friend Ain't nobody can put the ropes on you But keeping your freedom Has you tied up, too While you sit trying to decide There's so many things that you Could have tried Everybody's got to take a chance Everybody's go to make a stand You'll be choosing in the end Cause this is your life, my friend Something final in a closing door Reminds you that you're not so Young anymore And you see your death presaged The turning of a heart The turning of a page Everybody's got to take a chance Everybody's go to make a stand You'll be choosing in the end Cause this is your life, my friend Everybody's got to take a chance Everybody's go to make a stand You'll be choosing in the end Cause this is your life, my friend
