Two paths emerge

It’s time to choose

We are in the woods

Which way to turn

We see the light

The peace

The calm

Will it come before the dawn

Will we choose right

Or will we choose wrong

Will we go back to pillaging

To taking and taking

And crown a king

While we ignore all of the screams

Are we better than that

Have we grown

Have we changed

Will we choose colonization

Have we forgotten the dream

We got so close in 250 years

Utopia seemed near

Now dystopia I fear

Will the darkness take us back

To the path of the colonist

Fear

Greed

Dominance

The crooked road holds no true glory

Riches won with untold horrors

The choice in our path will tell the story

There is a path filled with hope

The truest American dream

Let us know once again

What equality can bring

I long to hear

Let freedom ring

Let us choose the path

That will pull us forward

That shines a light into the forest
