Title: Decisions Decisions
Year: 2002
Description: A jam/groove song inspired by thoughts on "the choices we make." Central idea expressed well by C.S. Lewis:
"Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature: either into a creature that is in harmony with God, and with other creatures, and with itself, or else into one that is in a state of war and hatred with God, and with its fellow creatures, and with itself.To be the one kind of creature is Heaven: that is, it is joy, and peace, and knowledge, and power. To be the other means madness, horror, idiocy, rage, impotence, and eternal loneliness.
Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other."
Lyrics:
VS 2
Wisdom should govern
And my will should hold sway
But wisdom is sleeping
And my will is away
Decisions decisions
CHORUS
The choices we make
Are all around us
The choices we make
Are making us too
The choices we make
Are all around us
The choices we make
Are making us too
VS 3
It seems that the worst kind
Are made without effort
I'm watching my maybes
Progressively nevered
Decisions decisions
Who are you becoming?
