Analysis of "Decisions"



The decisions we make take us down a different road
Each fork is traced back to a single choice
Bad outcomes are not what we are owed
The decisions we make take us down a different road
Honor, truth, integrity is a living code
To keep the code is to rejoice
The decisions we make take us down a different road
Each fork is traced back to a single choice.
