[Verse 1] Red lights burn along the street Smoke is drifting over me Someone calls me through the noise One more signal, one more choice I could raise my arm and fire End it here beneath the wires Then I see you on the ground Still afraid, but reaching out [Pre-Chorus] They built this hand to fight But they never chose its side [Chorus] This is the hand I choose Not only made to shoot If I can pull you from the fire That's the strength I want to use I don't have to prove How much damage I can do When the whole world tells me strike I can still decide what's right This is the hand I choose [Verse 2] Sirens fade into the rain Broken steel still sparks again Maybe they once called you foe Maybe that's the name we know I don't know where this will lead I don't know what you believe But while your signal still comes through I won't turn away from you [Pre-Chorus] A weapon has an aim But I can choose the way [Chorus] This is the hand I choose Not only made to shoot If I can pull you from the fire That's the strength I want to use I don't have to prove How much damage I can do When the whole world tells me strike I can still decide what's right This is the hand I choose [Bridge] Maybe courage isn't loud Maybe no one sees it now Maybe strength can also mean Knowing when to let it be One small light inside the rain One more life that still remains If there's something I can save I will reach before I aim [Final Chorus] This is the hand I choose And I know what it can do It can fight when fighting matters It can carry someone through I don't have to prove That I'm stronger than you If tomorrow needs a hero Let him know what strength is for This is the hand I choose
