Jeffrey Gaines - Choices Lyrics

When I look into the morning sky
A teardrop forms in my eye
When I look into the face of a child
The teardrop falls from my eye

And if there weren't so many
Unwanted children in the world today
Then maybe I could understand your view

But as long as there's so many
Children without a happy home
Then leave my choices alone

If I don't want this life then why should you?
A life without love is something
An innocent child shouldn't be put through

When I look into the midnight sky
And see the sins of those we respect
And when I look into the face of a child
I see the pain from their neglect
There are those who call it murder

And say that it is a sin
But I still can't understand your view
Please respect that it's my life
My mind and my body
And leave my choices alone

Forcing me by law to follow suit
A life without love is something
An innocent child
Shouldn't be pulled through
