Work in progress.

Here's the lyrics to a song I've been working on for a while..  It's a work in progress.

"Tell Me"

Planned out my day
With a napkin and a marker
Just that simple
During breakfast on my way 
To another beginning
Another class that will tell me
How to speak and write and listen
To find my so-called dream

It's one step closer, or so they say

But why can't they tell me?
What road do I follow?
What city do I go to?
To find the love of my dreams
What can't they tell me?
About passion and freedom
And fighting desperation 
For a brand new start
Why can't they tell me?
How to guide my heart.

At five years old 
It seems so easy 
To live the life of your desire
Be that teacher, doctor, or mother
That will never tire
But now it's blinding
To see all the pathways 
And not know which one is mine

So why can't they tell me?
What road do I follow?
What city do I go to 
To find the love of my dreams
Why can't they tell me?
About passion and freedom
And fighting desperation
For a brand new start
Why can't tell me?
How to guide my heart.
