Which way do we go?
This way to freedom
Over there is hard
That way is easy
Will you follow me?
Don’t feel uneasy
When I go away
Coming back weekly

With all these choices
Can’t make up my mind
Has to be on guard
Hearing some voices
Here and faraway
Thought it was Joyce’s
I’m feeling queasy
It was so breezy
