Choices We Make

The Choice I sat alone in my bunk Waiting for the ship to reach the shore Not for brevity But stay docked for many days So, I could enjoy the freedom from the ship Down the gangplank I walked singing Halleluiah. with a glass in hand and a girl in arms I lived the life, till the captain said You have to choose between Ship or shore. A seaman life was not for me I walked ashore never looked back Halleluiah. I sat in a glade when the mermaid Of the forest's lake She invited me to her pond It was deep and blue I said, no and walked my way While singing Halleluiah.
