Choose Life

Bridge 2] I saw a crow
outside my window
today. Keeping watch. It flew away
when I opened
my door. I drove to work. It followed me. Perched
on a fence post. Then one. Then two. Then a whole
murder of crows
lining the fence. Watching. Like they were saying, “You’re not alone.”. Something’s changing. A shift. A reminder
that you’re seen. Even when
you feel invisible. Even when
you think
no one knows. [Verse 1] Don’t fool yourself
into believing you’re strong enough
to walk the walk
alone. ‘Cause you’re not. You have to be
brutally honest. Admit
you’re stuck. Be willing
to turn it over. [Pre-Chorus] Go through the shakes. The pain. Shake off the chains. Break the link. So you can live. [Chorus] You can only
take so much. But you can’t
do it alone. You can’t. A little here. A little there. Is still
a lot. Detox
ain’t easy. It sucks. It really sucks. But it can help you win. Help you live. [Verse 2] Time to do it. Don’t look back. Don’t think
you can monitor yourself. That’s the biggest lie
of all. The one that says
you’re fine
alone. The one that has you
hiding
to use. The one that whispers, “Just this once.” The one that keeps
pulling you back. [Verse 3] Time to do it. Now is the time
to go all in. No halfway. No “maybe.” No “I’ll start tomorrow.” Now. And this time, get help. Real help. Don’t try
to carry it
alone. Reach out. Don’t believe
the lie
that you’re okay. Check yourself. Turn it over
to people
who can help. That’s not weakness. That’s how
you break free. [Bridge] Yes… You’ve tried before. And maybe
you made it work
for a while. But you were never
completely free. You’re worth more
than surviving. You’re worth
a real life. There’s a purpose
inside you. It’s the reason
you keep getting up. Keep going. Keep showing up. Keep trying. Even when
you don’t want to. you’ve seen
what happens
when people
give up. Friends have. They’ve left
this world. I’m not going to end that way. I want freedom. I want life. So today, I choose life. Again. [Final Chorus] You can only
take so much. But you can’t
do it alone. Go through the shakes. The pain. Shake off the chains. Break the link. So you can live. Keep showing up. Keep trying. Choose life. Again. And again. And again. Today. I choose life. I thought
I was alone. Then one crow. Then two. Then a whole
murder of crows. And somehow… I found the strength to fight one more day.
