Choose to Be - Allison Crowe

I wasn’t expecting you

You took me by surprise

And I don’t know if you can see it

But it’s right behind my eyes

The answer to a question

That I didn’t know I’d asked

And you know

Could wash over me so fast

And I’ve never

Seen this before

And I’ve seen so much

Oh god I wonder what it takes

To understand happiness

And I

Am standing on the edge

And I’m not afraid to fall

I’m not dying

I’m not hiding

I am not anything at all

But this time

I choose to be happy

You know I never believed

That I could have something good

Didn’t think that it was possible

Didn’t think I could

But now I’m kicking down these walls

And you’re tearing at these chains

And I am starting to believe

That I must be insane

Cause I’ve

Never seen you before

And I’ve seen so much

Oh god I wonder what it takes

To understand happiness

And I

Am standing on the edge

And I’m not afraid to fall

I’m not dying

I’m not hiding

I am not anything at all

But falling

And I don’t care where I land

I’m falling

And now I feel like I can stand

Cause this time

I choose to be
