Choose Life

A song i wrote a few years ago...inspired by a suicidal friend...I do the vocal...Special thanks to my buddy Ed Taylor who played guitar...Plus thanks to my friends Aleksandar and Timmy...Some of the pics are old ones of me...and my little bro...I'm in my country music mode on this one...so it sounds a little different than my previous songs on YouTube...Someday i'd like to make a "real" video for this song.


"CHOOSE LIFE"

i know it ain't easy
it ain't always fun
and sometimes the hurt
keeps your heart on the run
but it can be worth it
i know it for sure
this is just the beginning
and it's all yours

(chorus)
choose life
'cause you'll feel better in the morning
choose life
'cause you can find a better way
choose life
if you hold on 'till tomorrow
it can be your day
choose hope
'cause i know that you're a dreamer
choose faith
'cause it can show you the way
choose life
if you hold on 'till tomorrow
it can be your day

i know you have troubles
and it makes you mad
you call into question
all the dreams that you had
but i know you can make it
if you'd only try
don't you know that i care
i don't want you to die

(repeat chorus)

(then go to bridge)
i was once on the edge like you
didn't think i had a chance at all
but i found out, that just wasn't true
i finally made it through
and you can do it to

(repeat chorus and end)

This really gets to me, My Bestfriend Ricky killed himself because of his horrible slut mother who spent the money that was ment for the kids on herself and they were starving and to wake-up the judge who decided the kids should live with the mother instead of the loving wonderful father! Ricky's death woke up the judge and made for better choices that the kids don't ALWAYS belong with the mother! Because sometimes the mothing ISN'T the better choice! Great Song Man! 5 Stars!
