Are we going or are we staying?
Are we living or are we dying?
Are we praying or are we drinking?
Do you know a place or should I call?
Can we make a choice to rise or fall?

Should I pursue your heart or stay in reserve?
Should I move on or remember bitter sweet memories?
Should I find a path or trail blaze?
Could I receive a smile or would you rather give it to him?
Should I cut out my heart or has it become too thin?

Am I better than this or have I found myself?
Should I compare oranges with apples or am I making a fool of myself?
Do you see what I see or is my vision impaired?
Can't you see how my soul can fold?
Amazing, even after it's so old.

Where are we going?
