lyrics

The fork in the road
What a truly compelling concept
"The power of a choice"
The power of a choice is so immense
That when describing the fork in the road
Each person can independently relate
Whether it be a small choice or a big one
The concept remains the same
One road to rule them all
And only sparsely given the option to redact
Of course, there is no true redaction
One may achieve the result of a prior road with a new road
Much like a connecting side street
However, much like the road before it
The concept remains the same
The power of a choice stands between it

The road before the fork is paved in solid stone
The immediate road, and the road we no longer see
Though the road before the fork is entirely unchanged in its appearance
It often differs with the wind
The earth
The wind
The tides
The moon
The sun
The orbit
The stars
The fork
The road

Sometimes we beg of the road to stay straight
Like loyal followers on hands and knees, "I beg of thee"
As loyal followers, we see signs telling of the road ahead
But unlike the followers, the road has no power
The road, despite being praised as the creator
Is but the product of the follower
The follower unknowingly built the road before it
All roads before the current road are built by the follower
The followers cannot conceive of it
The followers of the road only understand one thing about the road
The fork
The power that stands between them and the road in front of them
The followers look at the fork
Stunned by it's presence
Surprised of it's position
Yet all too well knowing of its existence
As the followers take their duty
Deciding to step one way or the other
They take two more steps
Look behind them
And see that the road is suddenly straight

Which begs the question
Was the fork even there to begin with?
