Choices Lyrics

I remember when I was just a boy

And from time to time, I'd get into somethin'

That got my Dad annoyed

He would sit me down and make me listen

To every thing he felt I should avoid

He said, life's like a Christmas present from above

Sometimes it's just a pair of socks

Sometimes somethin' that you love

Either way, it's just for you

And I guarantee it'll fit you like a glove

But, you know sometimes it's difficult

To accept the gift that you're deserving of

He told me, each day brings us choices

That we all have to make

Every choice is like a fork

In the road our lives will take

Either path might be the right one

Either one could be a really bad mistake

Living with those choices

Can be harder to endure

If the reason that you chose them

Wasn't altogether pure

You might wonder what you were thinking

Cause you just can't remember the allure

Someday you'll know what I mean

When you're a little more mature

He said, time is good for hiding things away

When you can't stand to think about 'em

For yet another day

But sooner or later

They present you with a bill you'll have to pay

So son, I hope you're listening

To what I said today

And that many, many years from now,

After I have gone away,

You can look back on your choices

And feel pretty sure you handled them OK

So take it one choice at a time, son

And Oh Yeah, don't forget to pray

Take it one choice at a time

And don't forget to pray
