Judy Collins - I Choose Love lyrics

Every day we're given Another chance to be Someone good for someone To give your heart for free A chance to either fall below Or better rise above I choose love I choose love We've been known to bicker We've been prone to scream Goin' at each other till we Fizzle out of steam Aren't you tired of dishin'out The pushes and the shoves? I choose love I choose love We hide from pain, we criticize We veil the truth, we patronize To help ourselves traverse The bumpy ride Beholden to our wary minds We go great lengths to be unkind We'd rather circumvent than walk the line I haven't done much giving Thought mostly of me Didn't want to notice What isn't hard to see What's easiest to actualize And rarely spoken of To choose love To choose love A chance to either fall below Or better rise above I choose love I choose love I choose love I choose love
