Choices — текст песни (The Fuse)

If i can`t do
what i want to do
then my job is to not
do what i don`t want
to do


It`s not the same thing
but it`s the best i can
do


If i can`t have
what i want . . . then
my job is to want
what i`ve got
and be satisfied
that at least there
is something more to want


Since i can`t go
where i need
to go . . . then i must . . . go
where the signs point
through always understanding
parallel movement
isn`t lateral


When i can`t express
what i really feel
i practice feeling
what i can express
and none of it is equal


I know
but that`s why mankind
alone among the animals
learns to cry
