Your Own Choice

[James]

There was a time when we were close
As close as we could be
But that’s in the past now
Even though I wish it was still like that today

I could have looked into your eyes for ever
But there was that one thing that kept us apart
It upset me almost more than anything ever had
In the end that thing forced us away

What could we have done?
It was out of our control
It was in the hands of a more supreme being
As it always is

Maybe it was for the best
It probably wasn’t meant to be
We’ll look back on this years from now
And we’ll praise that being

Or will we?
You know what, the hell with what he says
Let’s do what we feel is right
Let’s set our destinies the way we want

After all, that’s what God would want
If your parents say no
But God says follow your heart
Which do you follow?

God said for all of us to obey,
“Honor thy father and mother”
So, you must listen to your parents’ decision
And that is what God intended

But then God also said,
“Do not murder”
And if you listen to your parents,
You have murdered my soul

But should you be listening to God anymore?
After all, He went on to say, “Do not steal”
But you have stolen my heart,
Whether you meant to or not.

It comes down to you
Will you listen to God?
Will you listen to your parents?
Or will you listen to your heart?
The choice is yours.
