lyrics

[Chorus]
It all comes down to this simple question
Is the goal of life singular / prescribed for all?

[Verse 1]
Or is it sacred right individual
To objective decide
Is no should or must in God's eyes

[Verse 2]
Is it up to me how divinity
I choose explore / express
Conscious / unconscious awareness?

[Repeat Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Or is it mine to choose
Fundamental to essence of who I am
Part and parcel version of God?

[Repeat Chorus]

[Middle 8]
If freedom to choose bestowed by God, better think twice
Before impose, bully, coerce in name of God rethink your life

[Instrumental]
(yes, I'm talking about all you preachers out there!)

[Verse 4]
Or is it open book adventure divine
Regardless dark or light
Contribution positive is?

[Repeat Chorus]

[Spoken]
Is it not in the very choosing that the possibility of love emerges? That genuine freedom to choose, to say yes or no, is fundamental to the possibility of bhakti?
