about

"Choices" was our final group project of our "Protest Songwriting" class. This track includes the voice of every student in the group. The song came from a journal prompt the students were given. We were able to take a few lines from the journal entry to jump start our songwriting on this tune.

lyrics

The choices we make ain’t always nice
We try our best to make it right
Red white and blue ain’t looking too good
Feel like we’re not doing as we should

Life may be hard but you gotta keep going
Keep making choices even without knowing
Decisions are everywhere, we’re making a way
Whatever you do, just know it will stay

Right or left
Down or up
Dark or Light
Tears or Smile
Express yourself, what you think is right
Choose love over hate, and let your light shine

We were innocent flowers reaching for the sun
The decisions we make may not always be fun
They may be filled with laughter or dread
Or some might just be over my head

Toy with our freedom where to go next
Just know your next move may not be success
You’re right, it’s your right, you decide it’s your life
Be proud of who you are don’t give up the fight

Left or right
Down or up
Light or dark
Tears or smile
Express yourself, what you think is right
Choose love over hate, let your light shine
