It's the [C]choice of a [G]life-time, I'm [Em]almost [G]sure
I will [C]not live my [G]life in-be[C]tween [D]anymore
If I [C]can't be for [G]certain of [Em]all that's in [G]store
[C]This far it [G]feels so [D]right
I will [C]hold it [G]up
[Em]Hold it [G]up to the [C]light[G] [D]
Hold it [G]up to the [C]light[G]
[Em]Hold it [D]up to the [C]light[G] [Em] [G] [C] [G] [D]
The search for my future has brought me here
This is more than I'd hoped for but sometimes I fear
That the choice I was made for would someday appear
And I'll be too late for that flight
I said, [C]God, will You [D]bless this de[G]cision
I'm [C]scared, is my [D]life at [G]stake?
But I [C]know, if You [D]gave me a [G]vision
Would I [C]never have [G]reason to [C]use my [D]faith?
Now as soon as I'm moving, my choice is good
This way comes through right where I prayed that it would
If I keep my eyes open and look where I should
Somehow all of the signs are in sight
If I hold it up to the light
It's too late, to be stopped at the crossroads
Each life here, each possible way
But wait, and they all will be lost roads
Each path's growing shorter the longer I stay
I was dead with deciding, afraid to choose
I was mourning the loss of the choices I'd lose
But there's no choice at all if I don't make my move
And trust that the timing is right
