I CHOOSE

“Don’t expect to gain respect
Just being who you are
Life is rough, be hard and tough
That’s all that has worked so far”

That’s what I’ve been told from the very first day
“You’d better prepare for the fight”
I made up my mind now to try a new way
Choosing to reach for the light

And I choose ease and grace
I choose elegance and space
I choose to live without the pain I knew so well
And I choose faith and love
I choose the guidance from above
I choose expanding and enjoying to be swell
Because I’ve struggled far enough
My heart can tell

“Don’t you think that there’s a link
Between yourself and God
God is great and you were made
From sinful human blood”

That’s what I’ve been told from the very first day
“You’d better feel guilty and shy”
I’ve made up my mind now to try a new way
Choosing to reach for the sky

So I choose ease and grace
I choose elegance and space
I choose to live without the pain I knew so well
And I choose faith and love
I choose the guidance from above
I choose expanding and enjoying to be swell
Because I’ve struggled far enough
My heart can tell
