I'm off to float on down the stream
without a paddle or an oar,
I'm going on an adventure
while you may choose to moor.
It doesn't matter if I'm right
or if it's wrong for you,

as anyone but me,
otherwise I wouldn't be Jo,
I'd be someone else,
you see.
I wasn't born the same as you,
we do not share a name,
there may be similarities
yet
it doesn't make us the same.
Your route may be along that way,
while mine may be along this,
I know
if I follow your route though,
it's my life that I'll miss.
