The Road Less Traveled

Inspired by the famous Robert Frost poem "The Road Not Taken", this ballad describes the experience of charting one's own course in life instead of following the crowd. Right or wrong, our choices define our unique life experience, and we can never go back and explore the other path. The piece begins with a treble soloist and unravels exquisitely through a variety of choral textures including a short a cappella section.

Here along
The road less traveled
There's no one else to guide my step
To follow or to lead
The solitude surrounds me like
The petals of a rose
My heart is open
Fully exposed

Here along 
The road less traveled
It's easier to stumble
So much harder to proceed
There are obstacles at every turn
Lessons that are hard to learn
A happy ending's never guaranteed

And it takes a little longer
To find my way
The final destination
Is hidden from my view
Yet my heart is growing stronger
Each passing day
Telling me to keep on moving ahead

Sometimes I wonder
How my life would look today
If I went the other way in the wood
How I wanted to explore the other path
But I knew I never could
I had to make a final choice
That much I understood

And right or wrong
This road unravels
There is no turning back
I will carry on this crusade
And right or wrong, one thing I know for sure
What a difference that choice has made
What a difference in my life!
