Decisions… Decisions (performed at BENT Showcase 11/16/12 Seattle)

Are you a somebody or a nobody?

Does an answer come to mind?

Is one elevated to a pedestal

While the other is left behind?

Are you a somebody or a nobody?

Is it hard to tell?

Does one ascend to Heaven?

Does one plummet to Hell?

Are you a somebody or a nobody?

Does the question ever arise?

One life lived with virtue

Another fraught with lies

Are you a somebody or a nobody?

How do you feel about it?

Sure of your identity

Or do you tend to doubt it?

Will a single word

Cause you to run & hide?

Or will you take direction

From who you are inside?

We need no definition

To encourage us to shine

For I will be YOUR somebody

And invite you to be MINE!
