I Choose

I choose I used to wake up, drag my feet Sayin’ I’m tired like it wasn’t up to me I let the world tell me how to feel Like my heart had no hands on the wheel I’d say I’m hurt when the road got rough I’m angry when life called my bluff But then I learned the way things go You don’t feel what you don’t choose to know I ain’t just a leaf on the wind The way I feel don’t just sink in I choose to be tired, I choose to be strong I choose to keep fightin’ when the night feels long I ain’t just feelin’, I ain’t just lost Every thought’s a road, every word’s a cross I choose the road I take, I choose the way I break And today, I’m choosing to be free I ain’t sayin’ it’s easy, no, not at all Some days you stumble, some days you crawl But every sunrise gives you the choice So I’ll stand up tall, I’ll use my voice I ain’t just a leaf on the wind The way I feel don’t just sink in I choose to be tired, I choose to be strong I choose to keep fightin’ when the night feels long I ain’t just feelin’, I ain’t just lost Every thought’s a road, every word’s a cross I choose the road I take, I choose the way I break And today, I’m choosing to be free Today, I choose
