CHOICES
 

IF I GAVE YOU A CHOICE

WHAT CHOICE WOULD YOU MAKE?

THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT TURN?

WHAT ROAD WOULD YOU TAKE?

IF I GAVE YOU TWO CHANCES

ON WHAT WOULD YOU SPEND THEM?

WOULD YOU GO OUT AND USE THEM?

OR STAY IN AND SUSPEND THEM?

IF I GAVE YOU THE RIGHT

TO LIVE BY YOUR OWN RULES

WOULD YOU LIVE WITH THE WISE MEN

OR DIE WITH THE FOOLS?

IF I GAVE YOU THE WORLD

WOULD YOU GIVE IT BACK?

OR SELL IT FOR DOLLARS

IN A BIG MONEY SACK?

IF I GAVE YOU MY HEART

WOULD YOU BREAK IT INTO?

WOULD YOU ACCUSE ME OF LYING

THAT I EVER LOVED YOU?

WOULD YOU DIE IN A HEART BEAT

WITHOUT ONE SECOND THOUGHT

OF YOUR UNFINISHED BUSINESS

WOULD IT ALL COME TO NAUGHT?

WOULD YOU LEAVE IT BEHIND

AND RUN TO MY ARMS

TO ESCAPE THAT OLD WORLD

WITH IT'S HURTS AND IT'S HARMS?

WOULD YOU LEAVE THOSE THAT LOVE YOU?

WOULD YOU LEAVE THEM TO CRY

WHEN THEY BEG YOU TO LIVE

AND YOU BEG THEM TO DIE?

IF I GAVE YOU THE CHOICE

AND TONIGHT NOW I DO

WHAT CHOICE WILL YOU MAKE, CHILD?

IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.

BUT I'VE TAUGHT YOU WELL

AND I CHOSE YOU WITH CARE

YOU MAY SEE YOURSELF AS A LAMB

BUT A LION'S STANDING THERE.

AND I KNOW THAT I CAN TRUST YOU

AND I KNOW YOU'LL DO WHAT'S RIGHT

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CHOOSE:

AND I WILL FIGHT THE FIGHT.
