What's Next?

So here we are, my friends
I'm getting older, doing what I can
To transition from a little boy
Into the right kind of man
Doing what I can
I need to pick who to listen to
From the ensemble of voices in front of me
I'm trying to figure out the catch
Of listening to the words of only some
I guess part of growing up
Is choosing who to take advice from
And I think I'm getting better
At picking up all the right cues
I can tell when someone doesn't want to see me
But is it better if I just never knew, never knew?
So the question at hand is, "What's next?"
This issue leaves many perplexed
What path should be seen as the best?
We're all put to the test
To the test, to the test
Cause I've got a couple small jobs on the side
And I'm still struggling with my sense of pride
And I tell to myself that the Lord will provide
He'll help me along to kill all lusts inside
I talk to my friends, and I said that I tried
When you turned me down, I drove home and I cried
Soon after a while, the mourning had died
I had some hard lessons I needed applied
I look at how Christ showed love to his bride
The extent of His love flowed ever so wide
I need to leave all my feelings aside
They may have said that it's easy, well, I said they lied
So what's next?
In my future, I see a wife and kids
But I can't see if it's really that close
So during these times I've vowed
To make the most of the life ahead
Here's to then
Here's to then
