Choose Life lyrics

(spoken)

Be careful, be careful

You could be entering the danger zone

(sung)

Appeared to be a good plan at the time

Seemed so harmless, no big crime

The choice was mine and I made it

But I didn't choose life

What I wanted was all I could see

Desire dangled in front of me

I lived on the brink of destruction

'Cause I didn't choose life

While the truth comes to free you, to lift and console you

Lies will cut you deeper than a two-edged knife

When the wrong way that seems right begins to control you

Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price

Cut the power of death and choose life

Each bad choice chipped away my soul

Soon survival became my goal

I ended up splitting up pieces

'Cause I didn't choose life

The sound of judgement was hard to hear

'Til the facts came in loud and clear

It's either one way or the other

And I better choose life

While the truth comes to free you, to lift and console you

Lies will cut you deeper than a two-edged knife

When the wrong way that seems right begins to control you

Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price

Cut the power of death and choose life

(spoken)

Life

Life

Choose life

(sung)

What then will you choose?

How much must you lose?

Time is running out

No longer able to slide by on foolish moves

We're nothing more than lives of clay

Formed by choices made yesterday

It turns to mud if you let it

So you better choose life

Be sure that when you add up the score

Life's columns add up to so much more

'Cause every single thing you do counts

So you better choose life

While the truth comes to free you, to lift and console you

Lies will cut you deeper than a two-edged knife

When the wrong way that seems right begins to control you

Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price

Cut the power of death — choose life

Choose life

Cut the power of death (choose life)

While the truth comes to free you, to lift and console you

Lies will cut you deeper than a two-edged knife (choose life)

When the wrong way that seems right begins to control you

Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price

Cut the power of death — choose life
