Should I stay inside-? And lay lazy beside- Smelling the boring Stuff inside? - snoring. Do I have a choice? Should I kill my time-? Staring at the lime On the walls so plain, Without much gain? Do I have a choice? Should I lament that day-? On an afternoon in May, I could not show my love, Coz I was bad in that move? Do I have a choice? Should I go for the metal-? That lets me live like cattle, And cuts me away from real, That I forget even my meal. Do i have a choice? Should I follow the path-? To make my life of math, But deep down my mind, I strain to unwind. Do I have a choice? Should I brood over? The gone days over And over again when- About them- all I can do is pen. Do I have a choice? I think of the options, When I could make potions, That could transform my life- mundane- To a life- insane. I do have a choice. I could go outside, Smell the flowers by riverside, See the colors of thy beauty, Than making myself pity. I do have a choice. I need not regret, And need not fret, Coz the love once lost, Is not forever lost. I do have a choice. I should dumb the metal, That cuts me from the mettle, And find pals for the real, Who really have that zeal. I do have a choice. I should unwind, And make up my mind, For the life I have, Is the only one I have. I do have a choice. I need not be sad, And I need not get mad, As tomorrow’s tale, Has never gone stale. I do have a choice. I do have a choice To roar at my top voice, That me and you and all Have the choice to roll the ball!! We all do have a choice.
