From the recording My Right To Choose
Lyrics
Written by Tom Prasada-Rao and Cary Cooper (2021)
It’s my right to vote
It’s my right to choose
It’s my right to hope
Even though I might lose
It’s my right to dream
Cause I know the truth
It’s my heart my soul my body
And it’s my right to choose
Those people outside
They say it’s a sin
They try to deny
My struggle within
They tell me to bow
But still I refuse
It’s my heart my soul my body
And it’s my right to choose
They say it’s my fault
They say I should pay
That I should repent
For going astray
A slow train to hell
Is where I am bound
But I am not lost
No, I am found
I stand on this rock
And I shall not move
A child of God
With nothing to prove
It’s my right to say
What I will do
It’s my heart my soul my body
And it’s my right to choose
It’s my heart my soul my body
And it’s my right to choose
