Let me choose life, and the living of it Let me find love, and the giving of it Let me be strong, where once I was weak Let my heart be heard, in every word I speak Let me find tears, when it's time for sorrow Let me replay, every joy I've borrowed Though life be short and little time's few Let me live my life, as a man must do Though life be short and all the good time's few Let me live my life, as a man must do Let me choose life, and share it all with you
