REDEMPTION

[Verse 1] He walks into the bar like he owns the place Rolling loaded dice with a fearless face Another glass down, another bet on red He laughs at every warning that he hears instead He calls himself a king with a crown made of lies With a drunken little kingdom underneath neon skies He says, "Nobody tells me what I'm gonna do" Then he throws another fortune away like fools do [Chorus] Choose who you are, before the night is gone Choose who you are, before the break of dawn You can be the fire or the ashes in the rain You can turn around and never be the same Leave the crown behind, leave the lies below Take a different road, let your better self show Every second waits for the choice you make Choose who you are, for your own life's sake [Verse 2] One yellow light appeared above the town He looked at the sky as the whole world slowed down A little golden fairy floated through the air With shining eyes and silver in her hair She looked at him and said, "Your choice is here You can keep your kingdom built on fear" He tried to laugh, but the laughter disappeared Then she whispered softly, "Decide who you are" [Chorus] Choose who you are, before the night is gone Choose who you are, before the break of dawn You can be the fire or the ashes in the rain You can turn around and never be the same Leave the crown behind, leave the lies below Take a different road, let your better self show Every second waits for the choice you make Choose who you are, for your own life's sake [Verse 3] The bottle hit the floor, the cards were left behind He started helping strangers, one person at a time He paid back every debt and apologized for lies He stopped calling himself king and started asking why Day after day, he built a different name Not perfect, not a saint, but he changed his game And every time temptation tried to pull him back He remembered that yellow light shining through the black [Bridge] "Decide who you are," the little fairy said "Your future isn't written by the life you led" He looked into the light and finally understood A person can become better if they choose to be good [Chorus] Choose who you are, before the night is gone Choose who you are, before the break of dawn You can be the fire or the ashes in the rain You can turn around and never be the same Leave the crown behind, leave the lies below Take a different road, let your better self show Every second waits for the choice you make Choose who you are, for your own life's sake [Verse 4] Years went by, and the reckless man grew old His story was worth more than any pile of gold He helped the lonely, he stood beside the weak And found the kind of strength he never used to seek His final days were quiet, his heart was finally clear He smiled at all the people he had helped throughout the years And somewhere in the sunset, beneath a golden sky He remembered that small fairy and whispered, "I chose right" [Outro] Choose who you are... Choose who you are... The light is still inside you... Choose who you are...
