Let me choose life and the living of it
Let me find love and the giving of it
Let me be strong when once I was weak
Let my heart be heard in every word I speak

Let me find tears when it's time for sorrow
Let me replay every joy I've borrowed
Though life be short and little time's few
Let me live my life as a man must do

Though life be short and all the good time's few
Let me live my life as a man must do
Let me choose life and share it all with you
