You can throw life like your anger at the wall Embrace it like you're following the call You can wear it like your hard won years You can find it like the music you almost hear Chorus: You can choose what you give; you can choose what you take Make love in your living, live the love that you make You can let life get your bitter or you can try to make it better You can choose what you choose what you give You can leave this town on the next dark train Or catch your d**h standing in the rain You can find it like so many dreams before Or brave it like each unmarked door Chorus: You can choose what you give, you can choose what you take Make love in your living, live the love that you make You can let life get your bitter or you can try to make it better You can choose what you choose what you give Sooner or later, you'll find that it matters 'cause Every one of us is gonna find our own way You can close your eyes wondering how Or you can lean back your head Smile and say "Now" You can wear life like well-worn gloves Embrace it like your truest love You can hold onto something strong like that Fend off every trouble standing back to back to back Chorus: You can choose what you give; you can choose what you take Make love in your living, live the love that you make You can let life get you bitter or you can try to make it better You can choose what you choose what you give.
