Choice Is Yours

Avery Watts

[Verse 1]
As a young boy he'd look high in the sky
Thinking big dreams, with a twinkle in his eye
Moved by the universe and everything in store
He felt like a bird in the world, he could soar
But as a young teen, it wasn’t a fun scene
When his folks broke up he was torn at the seams
Seeing fighting, who's wrong, who's right, caught in between
So worried, so hurried, no time, no green
Lo one day, clicking on the TV
He was caught by the screen thinking, "That could be me"
Through this epiphany, he found true purpose
Knew that it’d be harder than hell
But it'd be worth it
Many made fun, none would condone
The fact he'd be leaving back all he called home
Even so, he phones friends to go and hit the road
Now he's off on a mission because he knows

[Chorus]
You only get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours
But you get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours

[Verse 2]
His first attempt fails, so do two through ten
People tell him he's an idiot to try it again
Each friend went from belief to bereft
Packed up, backed out, stuck him with the bills, then they left
Now it's been weeks since the sheep brought sleep
When the power went out, and there was anything to eat
He's trying to ignore that the landlord is at the door
Hiding in the bathroom, lying on the floor
Mayday! Life raft lost on the waves
He's adrift watching as his ship is slipping away
When communique finally came it said
"Dear John, I’ve had affairs, but who cares, ’cause you're gone"
No one understands it’s his plan to succeed
Why he'd give up everything, why he sweats, why he bleeds
‘Cause he sees with these dreams come bumps in the road
But nothing's gonna stop him, in his heart he knows

[Chorus]
You only get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours
But you get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours

[Verse 3]
One day he gets a letter, one man, one fan
“Everything you've done makes me feel now I can
Life is bright and all is right, you’ve got an ally now
I've got your back in this fight"
That one turned into hundreds, hundreds into thousands
Thousands into countless, all across the land
‘Cause they feel the same, and together they stand
From the seed that was planted by a dreaming young man
Touring the world, big crowds, big shows
Big bucks, photos, autographs where he goes
Found those of his family and bona fide friends
Made sure nobody ever had to worry again
Then at the end is when he met his biggest fan
It was just a little boy, holding his mom's hand
As they stand for a photo the boy looks to the sky
Thinking big dreams, with a twinkle in his eye

[Chorus]
One chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours
But you get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours
(Bring it back)

[Chorus]
One chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key for so many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours
‘Cause you get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key for many doors
You can have it all, the choice is yours
The choice is yours
(Oh yeah) Choice is yours
The choice is yours
The choice is yours
The choice is yours
