Choices

The lies we tell the truth denied Those in need as we walk by These are the choices we make The songs we sing the books we've read The thoughts fermenting in our head These are the choices we make When we choose, what do we lose? What do we gain? These are the choices we make Those we love and those we hate The slamming doors the open gate These are the choices we make The dreams we dream our future plans Is destiny within our hands? These are the choices we make When we choose, what do we lose? What do we gain? These are the choices we make Do you teach your children right from wrong? Do they have a home where they belong? These are the choices we make Can you feel someone else's pain? Would you help them again and again? These are the choices we make When we choose, what do we lose? What do we gain? These are the choices we make
