SITTIN ON A FENCE

Have You Ever Been On A Fence
Just Wondering What To Do?
On One Side Lies Your Past
On The Other All That's New.

On The New Side Lies Uncertainty
And Things You Just Don't Know.
The Other Feels So Familiar
The Safer Place To Go.

The Security Of What You've Known
Calls You Back Again.
It's So Easy To Forget Why You Left
The Places That You've Been.

Are You Scared To Take A Step
Outside Your Comfort Zone?
Is Going Back A Guarantee
That You Won't Still Be Alone?

While You're Still Up On That Fence
Ask Some Questions From Within.
Am I Worth All I Want   
Or Just What Life Has Been?

Am I Willing To Compromise
My Freedom And My Friends?
And If So Can I Keep Giving In
To Demands That Never End?

Do I Have My Freedom?
Am I All That I Can Be?
Is This Past Of Mine
Not All, Just Part Of Me?

Am I Really Happy?
Do I Feel Complete?
Is Security Victory
Or Is Compromise Defeat?

Does My Future Hold A Chance
To Be All I Can Be?
To Share Who I Really Am
To Be Happy And To Be Free?

Realize Your Future's Yours.
The Choice Is Yours To Make.
Ask All You Want From Life.
It's There For You To Take.

When You Face The New Side Of Things
There Will Be Risks To Take.
But Realize Your Worth Those Risks
It's Your Future That's At Stake.

You Are Worth All You Want.
It's Time To Ask Yourself Again.
Do I Want A Promise For The Future
Or To Revisit Where I've Been?

Your Friend Always
