The most important gift of all is the ability to choose
To understand that perks in life are mostly up to you
The desires that we crave the most are often far away
But there is a choice that you can make every single day
To wait around and hope and pray will often do you in
Nothing more can come of it than loneliness and pain
It’s up to you to live your life and shape it how you see
Since you’re the only one who knows how it’s supposed to be
The choice you make is far from clear; it’s not a simple task
With every choice comes consequence, and outcomes that may last
So, if you play the game of life, be primed for what may come
But if you choose with confidence your life won’t come undone
