The Choice
Words & Music by Brent L. Godfrey © 2011
You can choose to be happy You can choose to be sad.
You can focus on what you’ve got or what you could have had
You can condemn those around you Or try to relate
The choice is there it’s up to you to make
It’s about choice It’s about pain
It’s about treating yourself kindly for a change
You can worry about the future or enjoy yourself now
You can just try to do it or always wonder how
You can choose to love or you can choose to hate
The choice is there it’s up to you to make
You can choose to stay single or choose to be wed
You can take big risks in life or live safely in your head
You can choose to get up early or sleep in real late
The choice is there it’s up to you to make
You can choose to stay the course or start a brand new path
You can choose to cry or choose instead to laugh
You can make a change now or choose to wait
The choice is there it’s up to you to make
The only thing stopping you is the cage you built yourself
The choice is there it’s up to you to make
