         C           G              Em     G
It's the choice of a life-time, I'm almost sure
       C           G         C     D
I will not live my life in-between anymore
     C            G          Em            G
If I can't be for certain of all that's in store
C           G        D
This far it feels so right

       C       G
I will hold it up
Em      G         C     G D
Hold it up to the light
        G         C     G 
Hold it up to the light
Em      D         C     G Em G  C G D
Hold it up to the light

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

        C             D            G
I said, God, will You bless this decision
    C             D       G
I'm scared, is my life at stake?
      C            D         G
But I know, if You gave me a vision
        C          G         C      D
Would I never have reason to use my 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
