At the crossroad

Yupz..so..when placed at a crossroad, what would you do? Why would you do as you did? And how sld u proceed from here on?

And the seasons, they go round and round,
And the painted ponies go up and down.
We're captive on the carousel of time.
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came,
And go round and round and round in the circle game.
