I know the way from the fork in the path
I know the way from the fork in the path
One leads up to a shimmering light
Of love, forgiveness, and a future in the sun.
The other is a sorrowful, torturous death
To a lonesome, bottomless world of the unknown.
I was placed with the task of making a move
And while the answer was quite obvious, I was a child
So I pondered for a time so long.
Oh, I thought I may benefit from the wrongs in life!
With that, I took the left and fell in a trap
Too deep to fight with my fist or throw a punch at
But none was too strong for my soul to attack
Yes, none was to win when my spirit rose
So I banished the trap and built a road leading up
Swerving about and soaring above.
Now I tell you, I really know the key to the roads
Oh yes! I know the way from the fork in the path.

This entire poem is basically a big fat metaphor. I hope that through this poem people will learn that you shouldn't be afraid to take a risk, because mistakes can be corrected. Sometimes, you can benefit from your wrong doings, and mistakes aren't scars -- they're only scabs.
