lyrics

In his heart, every man makes a choice
To serve himself, or serve a greater call
With what he’s given in these dying days
To freely give, or lose it all

Cause we all leave with nothing

So live like you mean it
And love while you can
Just close your eyes and breathe
While you still have breath in those lungs
Give till you feel it
And hope till it hurts
Don’t slip away
Don’t slip away, yeah

In his life every man gets a voice
And with it he will change the world
Will his legacy be castles of his own
Or harvests that can feed the poor
From seeds that he’s sewn

Yeah live like you mean it
And love while you can
Just close your eyes and breathe
While you still have breath in those lungs
Give till you feel it
And hope till it hurts
Don’t slip away
Don’t slip away, yeah

And I will choose the other life
I will choose the other life
Change my heart, align my sight
And I will choose the other life

Yeah I will choose the other life
I will choose the other life
Give me strength to fight the fight
And I will choose the other life
Yeah I will choose the other life

Cause we all leave with nothing
And all we have is now
