lyrics

Plant me in the ground
To grow where I am found
I suppose I’ll stick around

Or I would sail away
Nowhere would I stay
Another ship, another day

One will go, another will stay
How will they know if they should have chosen the other way?
I will go or will I stay?
And how would I know I’d always wonder the other way?

Two ways you can go
One will guide you home
And the other to the unknown

Providence wants to hear your voice
She is making you think you’ve got a choice
But do you really?

Here we are somehow
The burden on your brow
But will you stay here with me now?

Find the strength to see it through
I guess that’s all we can do
