The speed of the river never changes,
It goes at the same pace and to the same place,
But if you can't keep up then you will get left behind,
Yes it's swift pace makes it a never ending race,
So if you stop you will never catch up,
For that is something you just can't do,
And we all know that is nothing new,
So don't get left behind,
Just follow the path that it leads you,
For you just can't change destiny,
The path has been chosen and I choose to follow mine,
Some paths are meant to be broken,
But the real question is what path are you going to choose?
