I never thought this is where we'd end up Two strangers passing on the courthouse steps Those papers in the briefcase tell a story of our lives But it's not how I'll remember us And the choices we make Make us what we are today Every step that we take Takes us farther away We can give in to hate But it's a steep price to pay So I choose love And the sign on the lawn says it's sold and it's gone As I round the bend, it disappears from my rear view And I don't know where this heartache goes, or what comes next And I confess, I'm just as scared as you And the choices we make Make us what we are today Every step that we take Takes us farther away We can give in to hate But it's a steep price to pay So I choose love So I choose love I choose love And the choices we make Make us what we are today Every step that we take Takes us farther away We can give in to hate But it's a steep price to pay So I choose love
