I Have Choice, I Am Free
Instructed to order, his command I’d abide
To live and to breathe, right there at his side.
My life was for him to do as he please,
Until I remembered the strength inside me.
I found my courage and chance to be free.
So now when I see the pour of the rain
I walk through the re-growth,
Remembering my own regeneration.
When I see the sun fading, I smile,
Looking forward to tomorrow,
Because it's mine to plan.
When I see grey clouds pass overhead,
I know I am strong enough to highlight the fun I had today.
If I am pulled down, criticized, I know it's my choice to listen.
So with each bad day I remind myself of one good thing,
And know I can make lots more tomorrow.
I AM FREE!
It’s my life now and I’ll make it how I want it to be.
When I smile I know others smile with me,
And as I laugh others laugh with me,
And if they do laugh at me, why should it matter,
I make the future bright because I have new strength,
That grows with each new sun set.
I am free and it's okay to be me.
So when the night turns cold and I’m alone,
I know I’m alright because I have new insight to guide me,
And I now have choice standing beside me.
