Appearing to be a good plan at the time
Seemed so harmless no big crime
The choice was mine and I made it
But I didn't choose life
What I wanted was all I could see
Desire dangled in front of me
I lived on the brink of destruction
Cause I didn't choose life
While the truth comes to free you
To lift and console you
Lies will cut you deeper than a two-edged knife
When the wrong way
That seems right begins to control you
Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price
Cut the power of death and choose life
Each bad choice chipped away my soul
Soon survival became my goal
I ended up split in pieces
Cause I didn't choose life
The sound of judgment was hard to hear
Till the facts came in loud and clear
It's either one way or the other
And I'd better choose life
While the truth comes to free you
To lift and console you
Lies will cut you deeper than a two-edged knife
When the wrong way
That seems right begins to control you
Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price
Cut the power of death and choose life
What then will you choose
How much must you lose?
Time is running out
No longer able to slide by on foolish moves
We're nothing more than lives of clay
Formed by choices made yesterday
It turns to mud if you let it
So you'd better choose life
Be sure that when you add up the score
Life's columns add up to so much more
Cause every single thing you do counts
So you'd better choose life
While the truth comes to free you
To lift and console you
Lies will cut you deeper than a two-edged knife
When the wrong way
That seems right begins to control you
Don't let bad decisions make you pay the price
Cut the power of death, choose life.
