**THE CHOICES WE MAKE** **[Intro – Male]** I've walked a thousand roads, I've seen where some of them can lead. You don't always get tomorrow just by wishing what you need. **[Verse 1 – Male]** At fifty, I've learned the hard way, every step becomes a choice. You can follow someone else's road, or finally hear your voice. There were doors I left wide open, there were chances I let go. But every road I travelled taught me things I had to know. You can't change the road behind you, but you can choose where you turn. Sometimes losing what you wanted is the way you learn to grow. **[Pre-Chorus – Male]** So take a breath, look straight ahead, don't let fear decide instead. **[Chorus – Female]** You've got to make your choices, you've got to choose your way. Every little step you take can change another day. If you know where you want to go, don't be afraid to start. The life you're dreaming of is waiting somewhere inside your heart. **[Verse 2 – Male]** I've spent years chasing answers, thinking life would make them clear. But the truth is in the choices that you make when no one's near. You can stay where you are standing, or you can leave the past behind. You can build the life you wanted, one decision at a time. It won't always be an easy road, and sometimes you'll lose your way. But a wrong turn isn't failure if you learn from yesterday. **[Pre-Chorus – Male]** So take a breath, look straight ahead, there's still a road you haven't led. **[Chorus – Female]** You've got to make your choices, you've got to choose your way. Every little step you take can change another day. If you know where you want to go, don't be afraid to start. The life you're dreaming of is waiting somewhere inside your heart. **[Bridge – Male & Female]** **Male:** I can't live your life for you, I can't tell you what to choose. **Female:** But I can stand beside you when you've got everything to lose. **Male:** Every dream demands a sacrifice, every road has its own price. **Female:** But if you follow what is true, you'll find the life that's meant for you. **[Final Chorus – Female]** You've got to make your choices, you've got to choose your way. Don't let somebody else's dreams decide how you should live today. If you know where you want to go, keep walking through the dark. The life you're dreaming of is waiting, just listen to your heart. **[Final Chorus – Male & Female]** **Male:** Every road begins with one step, every future starts today. **Female:** You've got to make your choices, you've got to choose your way. **Both:** And when the years are passing by, you'll know the reason why— the life you chose, the road you took, was yours to live… was yours to write. **[Outro – Female]** Choose your road… Follow your heart… **[Male]** And never be afraid to change your life.
