Handful of Choices

We didn’t know much about anything
that could help us through life
sitting outside our well safe gardens
we wanted it all, we did have it all
And what did we know?
where was our choice?
how can you choose from
a set of closed boxes?
We spent our time dreaming
of things that never were
supposed to be simple,
and we took it all for granted
And what did we know?
who would hear our voice?
if all we had was
a handful of choices?
