Decision Day

In 1982, Sam Adams had a big decision to make.
He had been chasing a dream for eight years
He had dreamt of meeting and marrying
The lady who haunted his dreams
Ever since he first saw her.

In a dream, when he fell asleep
In a boring physics class
On a hot spring day
In Berkeley, California

He told her that
She was waiting for him
In far-off Korea.

So he joined the Peace Corps
To find her.

He finished the Peace Corps
Took a job teaching for the US Army
Chasing a fairy tale romance.

He had decided to return to the States
To go to graduate school
At the University of Washington.

He was about to give notice
And get ready to move back
When he had the final dream.
,
She said,

"don't worry, we'll meet soon."

That night she walked of a bus.

The next night, she appeared
At his base, said they had to talk
He had to decide whether to stay
With her following his dream girl?
Or tell her he was leaving?

He looked at her, mesmerized as usual
By her beauty, and decided to follow her
To the ends of the earth.

And with that decision, his fate was sealed.
he had no choice but follow his dream girl.
He never looked back.
