You’d think that when your life flashes right in front of your eyes That it would be just that A flash But no, it goes on longer Longer that the flash of the headlights that had almost hit you Longer than the short life you’ve lived thus far Long enough to teach you that you haven’t taken life in your direction “Choose the ones you love” “Choose your future” “Choose life” The junkie’s monologue in its theatrical delivery pulled you out of the anxiety So you drive home Physically unharmed Emotionally rewired Choose life Suppose I’ll have to change it?

Choose Life
You’d think that when your life flashes right in front of your eyes That it would be just that A flash But no, it goes on longer Longer that the flash of the headlights that had almost hit you Longer than the short life you’ve lived thus far Long enough to teach you that you haven’t taken life in your direction “Choose the ones you love” “Choose your future” “Choose life” The junkie’s monologue in its theatrical delivery pulled you out of the anxiety So you drive home Physically unharmed Emotionally rewired Choose life Suppose I’ll have to change it?
I was almost hit this night by a drunk driver. Thank **** a collision was avoided.
