Decisions

Don't just go from one nest to the next, Mama said to me. It's not where you go or where you left. It's the flying in-between. She said be sure to touch the sky. Don't put your dreams up on a shelf. Right now you're lost inside his eyes. I made the same mistake myself. Oh oh. Am I in love? Am I too young? I know my life has just begun. Does he set me free? Or put me in chains? When did my life get rearranged? Do I hold on? Do I let go? I know I can't escape tomorrow. Do I live for him? Or live for today? Suddenly the sky looks far away. I can see the wheels turn in his mind The way he looks at me. He says our kids will have my eyes. And what a mother I would be. Does this all have to move so fast? Can't I just take it day by day? Am I building something that will last? Or am I just running away? Am I in love? Am I too young? I know my life has just begun. Does he set me free? Or put me in chains? When did my life get rearranged? Do I hold on? Do I let go? I know I can't escape tomorrow. Do I live for him? Or live for today? Suddenly the sky looks far away. Do I wanna go from being Somebody's daughter to Somebody's wife to Somebody's mother? I need my own life. I thought my mother's life turned out as planned, But I never knew. Now that I'm grown I understand All the things she longed to do. I've got to soar above the clouds. But I just can't leave him behind. I've got to have it all somehow What is it I'm trying to find? Am I in love? Am I too young? I know my life has just begun. Does he set me free, or put me in chains? When did my life get rearranged? Do I hold on, do I let go? I know I can't escape tomorrow. Can I live for him and live for today? Suddenly the sky looks far away (far away) Suddenly the sky looks far away. Far away.
