DON’T DECIDE

M&L by Daniel Nahmod

 

A lifetime of decisions

And what is there to show

A few years been and gone

Perhaps a few years left to go

Well there’s a difference between living

And discovering the truth                                                                                                                                                           

I’ve done too much of the former

(It’s) been a quite protracted youth

But when it comes down to the latter

I’m still an infant, nothing more

I’m find in that’s a matter

For my soul not mind or body to explore

 

Don’t decide – the voice says

Don’t decide – make no choices

Don’t decide – and you’ll finally get it right

 

But wait I way, that’s counter

To everything I’ve learned

I’m supposed to be ambitious

I’m supposed to always yearn

I thought every day I’m meant to climb

A little higher than before

To be just a little better known

To own a little more

If all that’s smoke and mirrors

What am I then gonna do

What’s the next move I should make

What’s the next path I’m supposed to choose

 

Don’t decide – the voice says

Don’t decide – make no choices

Don’t decide – and you’ll finally get it right

 

It doesn’t make no sense at all

It’s a deceptively simple call

(that) when I’m holding nothing, only then I’ll have it all

Guess I’ll see – maybe it isn’t up to me

 

Don’t decide – the voice says

Don’t decide – make no choices

Don’t decide – and you’ll finally get it right

 

Don’t decide – the voice says

Don’t decide – make no choices

Don’t decide

 

You’re gonna be alright
