Choosing, choosing…
Some of us can do it fast and gracefully,
Surely, always knowing consciously just
Where to go, and some of us are slow and
Cautious, always needing to be shown.

Choosing, choosing…
Every day a new decision to be made,
What will stand on this foundation you have made
With heart and hand: do you have a plan, or do you
Dream, only doing what you can, and if
No one understands you, what will you do?

Chorus:
You must choose: only a certain time is given
For the dream to grow. Be glad and sorry but don't
Let it go without you, don't let it go without
Choosing some way that you yourself have seen,
Some way that goes out and gathers in again.

Choosing, choosing…
Who to love and how to pay the bills,
Where to live and what to do about the
Million obstacles, the spirit killed,
The beauty turned to spectacle,
And when to give and when to take it all. (chorus)

Choosing, choosing…
Every way you turn is on the way,
Choose your act and you've begun the play,
You know your lines. The ending is unknown
Until the curtain's down and you are safe at home.
(chorus)
