They slid an envelope across the table
The numbers on the check looked like a fable
My rent was due and my credit was maxed out
But a quiet voice in my head said"don't sell out"
I saw their plan as a path of quick gold
But every promise was a story sold
I looked up at the map pinned to the wall
The lines I drew showed a longer call
This city feeds on the foolish heart
I turned and threw the offer aside
The silence in the room said"choose your side"
I stepped back from that glittering tide
The offers they make can buy every door in town
But the vision I hold is the one that never drowns
I weigh the choice inside my mind
The better path is what I find
Cold cash on the desk
The map on the wall is the test
The prize of this moment is too small
I know now how to answer the call
A coin in the tray
The big picture guides me along the way
The road turns left and then I walk out
I can't see the path, but I've got no doubt
That's my shout
They counted zeros in a golden tone
But I saw a map drawn on a stone
The room was hot with pressure and with glare
I took a breath and faced the silent dare
A mouth was waiting with a better fee
But every bribe had a hidden missing key
The only offer now that I couldn't fake
Was the promise found in the choices I make
I keep the compass in my pocket close
Every step I take is the one I chose
The buildings watch me as I cross the floor
The main door is near, and I still want more
The hands that secure the cash cannot buy my core
The ledger of my dreams is the one I keep in store
I always read between the lines
The cost is not in hidden signs
Cold cash on the desk
The map on the wall is the test
The offers are tempting and too loud
I measure the size of the big cloud
The snow on the peak
The summit is far but I know what I seek
The trail is a line that is very steep
I pay with my pace and the vows I keep
And I'll leap
