《I Choose(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Because you never know

[00:00:01] Where life is gonna take you

[00:00:02] And you can't change where you've been

[00:00:05] But today I have the opportunity to choose

[00:00:11] Here am I now looking at 30

[00:00:13] And I got so much to say

[00:00:16] I gotta get this off of my chest

[00:00:18] I gotta let it go today

[00:00:21] I was always too concerned about

[00:00:24] What everybody would think

[00:00:27] But I can't live for everybody

[00:00:29] I gotta live my life for me.(Yeah)

[00:00:32] I pitched a fork in the road

[00:00:35] Of my life

[00:00:37] And ain't nothing gonna happen unless I decide

[00:00:42] (And I choose)

[00:00:44] To be the best that I can be

[00:00:48] (I choose)

[00:00:49] To be authentic in everything I do

[00:00:55] My past don't dictate who I am

[00:01:01] I choose (Yeah)

[00:01:05] I done been through some painful things

[00:01:06] I thought that

[00:01:07] I would never make it through

[00:01:10] Filled up with shame

[00:01:11] From the top of my head

[00:01:13] To the soles of my shoes

[00:01:15] I put myself in so many chaotic circumstances

[00:01:21] But by the grace of God

[00:01:22] I've been given so many second chances

[00:01:25] But today I decided

[00:01:29] To let it all go

[00:01:31] I'm dropping these bags

[00:01:33] I'm making room for my joy

[00:01:36] (And I choose)

[00:01:38] To be the best that I can be

[00:01:42] (I choose)

[00:01:43] To be authentic in everything I do

[00:01:49] My past don't dictate who I am I choose

[00:01:59] Because you never know

[00:02:00] Where life is gonna take you and

[00:02:01] You can't change where you've been

[00:02:03] But today

[00:02:05] I have the opportunity to choose (Hey ey)

[00:02:09] I used to have guilt about why things happen

[00:02:11] They way they did cuz life is gone do

[00:02:13] What it do

[00:02:14] And everyday

[00:02:15] I have the opportunity to choose

[00:02:20] From this day forward

[00:02:21] I'm going to be exactly who I am

[00:02:25] I don't need to change the way that

[00:02:28] I live just to get a man (NO )

[00:02:30] I even had a talk with my mama and

[00:02:33] I told her the day I'm grown

[00:02:36] "from this day forward every decision

[00:02:38] I make will be my own "

[00:02:41] And I choose) to be the best

[00:02:44] That I can be

[00:02:46] (I choose) to be courageous

[00:02:49] In everything I do

[00:02:53] My past don't dictate who I am

[00:03:00] I choose

[00:03:02] (And I choose)

[00:03:05] To be the best that I can be
