Hobson's Choice

Music and Lyric by David W. Jacobsen

All your life you toil and hoard
Dream of some distant reward
And when you finally find your voice
It's just in time to make Hobson's choice

You've been seeking to discern
Where are you going? How will you turn?

You've been striving as we all crave
Until this lesson will adjourn

Too many pieces to arrange
Familiar becomes strange

All your life you toil and hoard
Dream of some distant reward
And when you finally find your voice
It's just in time to make Hobson's choice

You've been seeking to advance
You can't traverse this expanse

You've been out there, you caught site.
Until you realize it's only chance

Too many pieces to arrange
Familiar becomes strange

All your life you toil and hoard
Dream of some distant reward
And when you finally find your voice
It's just in time to make Hobson's choice
