Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to take
With possibilities and unknown turns
My heart for adventure quietly yearns
[Chorus]
The road not taken, it calls my name
Whispering promises of fortune and fame
But comfort and safety lie straight ahead
Which road mirrors the life ahead?
[Verse 2]
Security beckons, with an open arm
A life free from danger, free from alarm
But the unknown path, it's wild and free
It offers me a chance, to truly be me
[Chorus]
The road not taken, it calls my name
Whispering promises of fortune and fame
But comfort and safety lie straight ahead
Which road mirrors the life ahead?
[Bridge]
Years from now, will I'll be looking back in time
Will I regret, this choice of mine?
The safety I chose or the risks that I dared
The life that I lived, or the one I spared
[Chorus]
The road not taken, it calls my name
Whispering promises of fortune and fame
But comfort and safety lie straight ahead
Which road mirrors the life ahead?
[outro]
The road not taken
Don't know which way to go
The road not taken
For every road taken,
There's another's left behind
Another left behind
