Harvest · Track 10
Every Step Is a Choice
Even after the lilies and the sparrows, we still stand at crossings. Every Step Is a Choice brings embodiment to the album’s trust — awake inside ordinary decisions, more than instinct, more than need. The rhythm carries responsibility without heaviness.
Lyrics
He spoke of the lilies
How they grow
No striving in them
Yet they show
He spoke of the sparrows
In the sky
Held in a rhythm
They don’t deny
But here we stand
Awake inside
At every crossing
We decide
Decide
More than instinct
More than need
There is a space
In every seed
A quiet moment
Clear and wide
Where love or shadow
Can arise
Every step is a choice
Every breath is a sign
I can walk in the dark
Or stand in the light
I don’t choose what is given
But I choose what I give
And I grow every time
I choose love as I live
Choose love
He spoke of a sower
Scattering seed
Some fell shallow
Some took deep
He spoke of a gate
Narrow and straight
Few recognise it
Until it’s too late
Not to control
Not to command
But to bring truth
Into the land
Bring it
Not above
What has been made
Not to bend
Or dominate
But to lift
The smallest part
With steady hands
And open heart
Every step is a choice
Every word leaves a trace
I can harden the world
Or soften this place
I don’t conquer the earth
I don’t force it to bend
I evolve every time
I choose love in the end
Again and again
This is how the kingdom moves
Not by fear
Not by rules
But by choosing
Moment to moment
What is life
What is open
A little more truth in the voice
A little less weight in the chest
Every loving act
Widens the circle
Until we remember
The rest
Remember
Every step is a choice
Every act is a seed
I become what I choose
By the love that I feed
And one day the many
Remember the One
When the choosing is over
And the choosing was love all along
Not above the creation
Not apart
Not alone
I was given this life
To let love find its home
Find its home
