Who Decides

How many times until I learn from my misfortunes?
How many years until my dreams fall into view?
I just can’t wait any more
How many times have I vowed my conviction?
How many years until my lucky star shines through?
Shining on an open door
Waiting for an honest truth
I’m passed the point of innocent youth
I’m to the point of no return
Maybe the reason is better left unspoken
Maybe the reason is better denied
Maybe the reason will always be a mystery
Who decides?
How many miles must I walk in this direction?
How many ships must pass before mine comes in?
I just can’t wait any more
How many hearts lie waiting to be broken?
How many dreams will never, ever come true?
Never getting through the door
I may die and never know the truth
I’ll die dreaming of the days of my youth
Wishing I could have one more
Maybe the reason is better left unspoken
Maybe the reason is better denied
Maybe the reason will always be a mystery
Who decides?
