lyrics

Our Choice
Walk with me into the night, walk with me into the morning rain
I want to feel the light. I want to find the peace of mind that you can do the same, if you’d like. We’ll find joy inside. Let it shine, let it shine.
In the arms of HOPE I spread my wings. I’ve got love in my heart
and though it seems the days are long and the nights are cold,
when the harvest comes I’m overflowing with healing words.
Everywhere I look, people are trying to start fires
They’re just throwing us together, using us to be the lighters.
But the rock, it ain’t the problem, it’s the hand that’s using it.
They want what they can’t have and what they have, they’re just abusing it.
The rock itself is in a pivotal position,
if we stand alone people want to acquisition.
but if we move with the crowd, roll with the beat,
we’re adding weight to a motion that’s got a root with no seeds.
Rock, paper, scissors - yo, you gonna take a blow?
Go ahead and tell me something you don’t think I know
Here I am, you got me listening.
Go ahead and tell me something about that tune you think I’m whistling.
All these songs, are they even worth finishing?
Vocabulary these days, it is diminishing.
Go ahead, have your say, but be resilient if you want to have a pay day.
They’ll take it (your choice) away.
They took our words. They took our land. They’ve taken everything
and They’ll take you by the hand. Lead you down the street,
make you think you’re marching to your own beat, but the drummer’s
got a hummer and you’re riding in the back seat.
Things speed up when they switch to 5th gear, got you looking around going
“How did I get here?” - They took it (our choice) away.
