Choose to Live

In almost every city

I lost my youth

I made some friends

Then on I went

No worry or dread

---

Then there was

Sometimes in every

Other city or two

I got swept away

And started to dream

---

I’d dream and dream

Until I went blind

And my life became

Bright city lights

And trying to survive

---

I lost my values

And I lost my youth

Only to find

A stronger me

And some truth

---

The truth is this,

---

I thank God

For bright city lights

And people who choose

To live

Instead of to survive
