The life you chose -
There's never a list for it
Of cons and pros

You find what you love, and you commit

And you're looking so far down

The road so well
That you could forget your crown
Isn't just somewhere else


You get bumped and bruised and worse
For choosing the road less traveled

You know the reward is rich
If you persist through the darkest battles
Open your eyes,

Your prize is right before you, somehow
Whatever you do, just don't miss now


You're on a bus
Don't notice the miles and months fly by
To the rest of us

You're living the highest kind of life

And though the price you pay

Is costlier than it seems
It's worth another day
The end justifies your means


All that you're working for
Could blind you to the treasures all around you

So don't miss these moments, please
The joy before the crown you seek
