It Is I Who Decide

It is I Who Decide It is I who decide When to stop, when to go There is no one but me Saying yes, saying no It’s as simple as that I have learned this truth well It is I who decide Between heaven or hell There’s no prize I can’t have If its price I will pay Though that price may be precious There’s no other way I may scream my excuses be tossed by the tides Or just rest on my laurels It is I who decide And people will tell me I’m finished, I’ve failed Will I let them convince me All my dreams are derailed? When my time here is finished Those who care by my side; The wise lesson to leave them? Is it’s they who decide The Impossible Dream’s Within all of our reach It’s a lesson the mighty Often struggle to teach It’s because it’s so simple That’s it’s so hard to know It’s just you who decide When to stop, when to go So don’t stop before reaching The prize of your dreams Whether love, whether riches No matter how far it seems Action is power And your mind is the key Whether winner or Loser You choose what you’ll be.
