Choose to Live

Don't believe the lies that have been said, Do you truly think you're better off dead? Shake that thought out of your head, Let me tell you what is true, what is real, My friend, you should choose to live instead. Why do you meet the mornings with dread? Wake up, come on, rise from your bed, How about some breakfast so you'll be fed? Wait at the table while I cook you a meal, My friend, you should choose to live instead.
