Lyrics

Choose to Love

Does this sound at all familiar
Have you ever been the one to deny
Love held out on a silver platter
By anyone that meant something to your life

Makes me wonder why we do that
Is it so important to be the only one
To make decisions and be in control
What could be better than receiving love

If we take a backward glance and we see what we chose
Did we seize any chance, did we choose to love
Did we take a deep breath and let our feelings show
Did we forgive all the rest, did we choose to love
Did we hold on too tight when it was time to let go
Did we do what was right, did we choose to love
Did we choose to love, did we choose to love

What would we do if love was all that mattered
How different would the world look on any night
There?d probably be no hunger, war or punishment
We?d be feeling too much joy to fight

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
Preachers, teachers, leaders, healers
Sons and daughters, friends and lovers
Wives and husbands, I hope we hear this

If we take a backward glance and we see what we chose
Did we seize any chance, did we choose to love
Did we take a deep breath and let our feelings show
Did we forgive all the rest, did we choose to love
Did we hold on too tight when it was time to let go
Did we do what was right, did we choose to love
Did we choose to love, did we choose to love

I don?t believe it?s ever too late to make a change
We?ll hold our courage in both hands and let love rearrange

If we took a forward glance and we see what we?ll choose
Will we seize any chance, will we choose to love
Will we take a deep breath and let our feelings show
Will we forgive all the rest, will we choose to love
Will we hold on too tight when it?s time to let go
Will we do what is right, will we choose to love
Choose to love
Did we choose to love
Choose to love
Did we choose to love
Choose to love
Did we choose to love
Choose to love
Did we choose to love

At the end of the day at the end of this life
All we?ll have to say did we choose to love
At the end of the day at the end of this life
All we?ll have to say did we choose to love
