The Only Choice
As hard as we wish for peace, the harsh reality of war is too often the world we live in. "The Only Choice" is a powerful ballad that dramatizes this agonizing decision--to fight for good over evil, especially when it comes with real sacrifice. It opens with a poignant tenor solo, and also features a brief a cappella section in the middle of the piece before coming to a powerful final chord.

I wish this all were different I wish our hearts weren't bruised and sore I wish we lived in a world without the need for war But this is where we are Some battles must be fought It's the only choice we got I wish I had the power To wave a magic wand and heal us all But in the face of evil We must answer the call We will make it through We're stronger than we thought It's the only choice we got How I long to join you How I yearn to do more I will write and you'll respond I know that our bond will endure I wish this all were different That we could avoid this tearful goodbye But we have to be strong now At least we'll try From afar I will love you With all of my might 'Till the no so distant day When darkness gives way to the light So we'll make it through the madness We'll make it through the years and years apart I trust the steady beating of my heart My heart is crying out My throat is in a knot But I will use the voice I got When our battle is fought I'll show what I got!
