You list the words that would build a brighter future
Your hands extend opening a portal of light
But time is twisted willful and sometimes wicked
Cruel design threads its needle through our lives

Decisive and divine

In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a human who chooses what's right

The shroud I wear heavy with despair its a shadow
Rendering a lifetime reeled in film noir
Then willful whispers delivered you while I was listless
Even a cynic couldn't fault your heart
Persistent in the dark

In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a man who chooses what's right
In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a human who chooses what's right

In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a human who chooses what's right
In this world where each step is a landmine
You are a man who chooses what's right
