Fresh Tracks

Listen for free on YouTube

So many paths to follow
Any might show the way
Rich with options I can choose
I know I’ll be OK

And yet despite consensus
The obvious choice to make
I need to blaze a different path
It is my risk to take

Fresh tracks behind me now
I’m doing this alone
Fresh tracks behind me now
My outcome is unknown
Fresh tracks behind me now
Growing longer still
Fresh tracks behind me now
Gotta work my way uphill

I never had a mentor
No one to help me through
No role model to imitate
Or show what I could do

I had to blaze my trail alone
Break ground and be the first
Figure it out on the fly
A new space to traverse

Like Frost’s diverging roads
There are fresh tracks in my wake
A solitary route to go
Opportunity or mistake
Whether role models surround you
Or with nobody around
Be unique and make your mark
Don’t let anyone tear you down
