The Choice Songtext
von The O’Jays

(You′ve been lonely for so long)
Oh, I think it's time you knew
Because (happiness) happiness (is) is floating by
Just above your view
Oo-oo-ooh, ooh

Huh, wander nameless in a world of confusion
Placin′ all fate in a worthless illusion
Seeking the wrong, to a satisfied mind
Yet stumblin' on the truth you left way behind
(Searching) oh, I've got to find a way
(Keep on searching) ′cause I′ve been searchin' every day (keep on)

You think the answer lies in silver and gold
You seem to think that love can be for the soul
Turning your back on people who care
When judging the love they want you to share


(Happiness is waiting)
You can tell by the way that you feel
Don′t, don't you ever get tired
Convincing yourself (convincing yourself)
Convincing yourself it′s for real?
Don't you know it′s for real?
Hey, don't you know?

You're never gonna find yourself by running away (running away)
Can′t you see that to be free, you′ve gotta face today? (Facing today)
If it hurts, the doubt is still remaining in your mind (remain in your mind)
Take this trip with me, and see the things you'll leave behind

Oh (searching) woah (keep on searching)
I′ve been searching every day (keep on searching)
Been searching here and there, been looking everywhere (keep on searching)
'Cause I′ve got to find
Got to, got to find the way (keep on searching)
So I'm gonna keep on searching everyday (keep on searching)
Hey-ey, got to find the way (keep on searching)
Oh, oh-woah (keep on searching)
Got to keep on searching (keep on searching)
Got to find the way
