lyrics

VERSE 1
They say we choose our families
Long before we are born
Friends and adversaries
To help us learn
All that we came to learn

VERSE 2
They say we write our story
In the stars, before we take our form
Reminders on the journey
Of who we are
So we may finally return

CHORUS 1
Do you think we have?
Do you think it’s true?
Could you have chosen me?
Could I have chosen you?
Are we here to lead
Each other home again?
Could we finally
Remember how
The story ends?
Could we have chosen this…?

VERSE 3
They say we choose a question
We can’t recall once we arrive
A whisper in the distance
Calling softly
For us to answer with our lives

CHORUS 2

BRIDGE
They say we chose this moment
When the world was crashing down
They say we came to rise
With swords of love and awakened eyes
Our finest hour
Coming ‘round

CHORUS 3 <2x
