Should I, Would I, Could I

Standing on the road to Eden
 A million miles to go
 A man of God whose odds aren't even
 To be what he would know
 Stopping for a lonely moment
 To choose his only way
 Dropping on his strongest knee
 He bows his head to pray
 I am not unlike that pilgrim
 Seeking my own path
 Weak, I fight to find my will
 To walk as who I am
 Living in this world it's hard
 To "thine own self be true"
 Funny how the world gets hold of you
 Should I, would I, could I
 Walk the way?
 Should I, would I, could I
 Walk the way of this road I am on?
 I'm trying hard to get a handle
 On things that I desire
 Burning both ends of a candle
 Only feed some fire
 Things may come on silver platters
 To intrepid youth
 But everything I've found that matters
 Comes on wings of truth
 Every pain and every pleasure
 Plays a vital part
 But everything I've come to treasure
 Lays within my heart
 In my mind I try to fight for
 What I think is good
 Without doing what the world
 Tells me I should
 Will I fall over every rock and stone?
 Will a hard love cut my heart to the bone?
 Will I take some turn and find myself
 Lost and on my own?
 I don't want to be alone
