What's It Gonna Be
Discover Your Direction with Neil Diamond's 'What's It Gonna Be'
Lyrics
First you're runnin' one way
First, you are heading in one direction.
Then you run another
Then, you change your course.
Thinkin' you'd discover
Hoping to find what you truly require.
What you really need
Searching for your essential needs.
Runnin' in circles
Engaging in repetitive actions without progress.
Gonna get you nowhere
This circular movement won't lead you anywhere.
Why you want to go there?
Questioning the motivation to go in that direction.
Where's it gonna lead?
Wondering about the ultimate destination of this journey.
What's it gonna be when the night is cold?
Contemplating the choices when confronted with a cold night.
What's it gonna be when the morning scares you?
Reflecting on decisions in the face of a daunting morning.
Put your reservations all on hold
Putting doubts aside and committing to something.
Climb aboard and ride with me
Inviting others to join you on this journey.
Lonely gets you nowhere
Being alone doesn't lead to progress or success.
Only gets you zero
Isolation results in achieving nothing.
I may not be a hero
Acknowledging imperfections but being the right person for someone.
But I'm the man you need
Offering what is needed even if not a hero.
One way or another
Indicating the necessity for change.
You need a new direction
Seeking a new path in life.
Make a new connection
Establishing new relationships and associations.
Hey, what's it gonna be?
Posing the question about the choice to be made.
What's it gonna be?
Repeating the question, emphasizing the importance.
Do you take a chance?
Asking if one is willing to take a risk.
Are you gonna let the night defeat you?
Challenging the fear of the night and its potential impact.
If you're tellin' me that you just can't dance?
Questioning the reluctance to engage in life's experiences.
I say try it on and see
Suggesting trying new things to discover enjoyment.
Move a little closer
Encouraging closeness and intimacy.
Try a little harder
Promoting increased effort and dedication.
Dancing with a partner
Highlighting the benefits of dancing together.
Helps you find the beat
Emphasizing the importance of finding harmony.
Time to put it out there
Stressing the urgency to express oneself.
Before it's movin' past you
Acting before opportunities pass by.
So once again, I'll ask you
Posing the question again, urging a decision.
What's it gonna be?
Reiterating the need to make a choice.
What's it gonna be when the night is cold?
Revisiting the decision-making process in challenging situations.
What's it gonna be when the morning scares you?
Considering options when faced with a tough morning.
Put your reservations all on hold
Suspending reservations and embracing the unknown.
Climb aboard and ride with me
Inviting others to join the journey despite uncertainties.
One way or another
Reiterating the need for change and a fresh start.
You need a new direction
Emphasizing the importance of choosing a different path.
Make a new connection
Encouraging the formation of new connections.
So what's it gonna be?
Persistently asking the crucial question.
What's it gonna be?
Repeating the question for emphasis.
What's it gonna be?
Continuing to ask what the decision will be.
What's it gonna be?
Reiterating the importance of making a choice.
What's it gonna be?
Stressing the urgency of deciding on a course of action.
