lyrics

Why Decide?/Release

C Bm G Em

Why anything matters
What really is
At your heart
What you’re made of
Always changes

But there is a core
we’re building on
Some ground
On which to grow

Am Em x4

There is a generation coming
What they need to know

I apply love in my life
Like it’s a mission
Each second is an opportuni-
Ty. We’ve been given

C Bm G Em

If living is a canvass,
What intentions will you paint

If everyone’s a sinner
If everyone’s a saint

If you feel you’re trying
Doing what you believe
If you feel you’re answering
Important mysteries

Am Em x4

I
Live my life
Right
Cause it’s my
time
treating other people
like their world is mine

how much we can be giving is
as far as we will go

if you’re usually taking
you feel wrong, you know

CGD x3 Em

give and live
try and fly
you decide
in this life

CGD x3 Em Am B7

what you do
til you’re through
matters forever
love’s true

CGD x3 Em C D

make what you want
in your mind
you will find
what you need to

C G D

Gifts to give
And love shared
Hug the answer’s
Always there

You try
You’ll see
The welcomed world
Of harmony

Let go
Be free
Fill yourself
With ecstacy

Feel God
Be free
And live life the way
It’s meant to be

Am Em Am Em

Take solace in this thought
And venture on
Be free and know momentum here
Is strong

CGD x3 Em Am B7

It won’t be long
It truly won’t be long
Remember this.
Be strong

C
Peace
D
Be free
G
Release
