Verse 1
Would’ve been simpler to walk away
Let it slide, let it fade to gray
Nobody watching, nobody knew
What the truth was asking me to do
The easy road was right in sight
Cut a corner, call it a long night
But something deeper held my ground
A still small voice, a steady sound
Pre-Chorus
I’ve learned who you are shows up clear
When doing right costs you here
Chorus
I choose the right thing when it ain’t easy
When it costs me time, when it don’t come free
When it’d be faster to close my eyes
And leave the truth on the other side
I stand my ground, I pay the price
Even when nobody’s on my side
I don’t live for applause or praise
I choose the right thing anyway
Verse 2
It ain’t always loud or proud
Sometimes it’s lonely, head hung down
It’s saying no when yes would pay
Keeping your word when it don’t feel safe
I’ve learned integrity don’t shout
It just keeps showing up, without a doubt
Brick by brick, day by day
That’s how a life gets built this way
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need the crowd to see
I answer to what’s inside of me
Chorus
I choose the right thing when it’s inconvenient
When it slows me down, when it tests my patience
When forgiveness hurts like hell
When silence speaks louder than I can tell
I walk the long road, not the fast lane
I carry the weight, I take the strain
’Cause character’s proved in the hard delays
I choose the right thing anyway
Bridge
Let the shortcuts pass me by
I’ve seen where they end too many times
I’d rather lose and sleep at night
Than win by selling out what’s right
Final Chorus
Yeah, I choose the right thing when it’s hard to do
When it’d be easier to just break loose
When fear says “run,” faith says “stay”
And love demands I don’t look away
I won’t bend just to fit in place
I won’t trade truth for comfort’s sake
This is the hill I choose to stay
I choose the right thing anyway
Outro
When the dust settles, come what may
I’ll stand tall with what I gave
No regrets, no debts unpaid
I chose the right thing anyway
