Closer to Home

Things that bring you closer to home
Things that send you away
Choices  and voices
-- Your decisions and who you listen to --
Both determine your way

You can choose to do right
You can choose to do wrong
It's you who decides
Where it is you belong

You can listen to wisdom
Or send it away
Listening instead to a fool
As he captures your sway

So make the right choices
And listen to the right voices
And a pleasant home is the place
Where you'll come to lay
