The Choice

To have friends around you - or be on your own
To share with a lover - or go it alone
To rejoice in just living - or forever be down
We make the decision, the choice is our own

Did you understand me and did I understand you
Maybe we both did but we lost what to do

We want to choose happiness - we want to be sane
Yet we find that we're suffering - are we to blame
For our fears and our tears - wherever they came from
And is it the truth that the choice is our own?

Did you understand me and did I under stand you
Maybe we both did, but we lost what to do

You may see her
Walking down a street but you will never meet
She will pass you by in a cloud beside you
You may glance her
Dancing through a gate, but she will never wait
She will be alone in a space before you

Do we really decide - when to laugh or when to cry
Or is it the stars - that decide to live or to die
Is it all self-induced - or is that only a lie
To believe in whatever - the choice is still our own

Did you understand me and did I understand you
Maybe we both did, but we lost what to do

Down by the ocean
She will be there counting waves against the shore
She is sad, but also glad to be there
When you see her
Don't reach out your hand for she will disappear
You can call her name but she'll never hear you
