I used to have so much to say,
About the ways you were feeling.
I know I looked the other way,
When you questioned my reasons,

You said, "Stop! Take a look at yourself."
You said, "Slow down. Ease up."
"Everybody's got the right, to live their life,
Wrong or right.
Everybody's got the chance, to step aside,
Or join the dance, it's a personal choice."
It's a personal choice.

So I tried to see, a different side of me.
And I took a look inside my head,
And I thought about the things you said,
And I tried to find a better way,
To say the things I had to say,
But I missed the point. I missed the point.

So I tried again. And I listened again.
And I took a look inside my heart,
And found a message I could start believing.
I am the one who lives with me,
I can choose, I can choose the way I'm feeling.

You said, "Everybody's got the right, to live their life,
Wrong or right.
Everybody's got the chance, to step aside,
Or join the dance"

(Take a chance, join the dance) (repeating to the end)

It's a personal choice. Every second counts.
It's a personal choice. Is that a smile or a frown?
A personal choice. I can only live my life
A personal choice. Everybody's got the right to choose!
