Life of Choices

Let me be a king and not be a tyrant Let me be an angel, but not an angel of death Let me live in reflection but never in silence Let me rise in action until the moment of final rest Did you ever think you'd be where you are today? All your life of choices – what to keep and what to throw away Let me be a helper and not a tormentor Let me weep with emotion, but not cry in a cowardly trench Let me sign a treaty but not of surrender Let me have forgiveness where only fools would fail to repent Did you ever think you'd be where you are today? All in a life of choices – when to live and when to pass away Let me be the kind of man that you married Let me not whisk away your dreams in a bouquet of deception Let me be solemn enough to know when I’m happy Let me hang around with the guests at the end of the Great Reception Did you ever think you'd be where you are today? All one road through a life of choices – where to rest and where to drive away Where to rest and where to drive away
