WHAT WE CHOOSE TO BE

[Intro (ruhig, bestimmt)] No crown. No code. No one above us. [Verse 1] We’ve lived in lines someone else drew, we’ve worn the names we never chose. We learned to kneel, we learned to wait, we learned too late what that creates. Now all the noise is finally gone, no voice to tell us what we’re not. Just open ground and open eyes— and all the weight of our own lives. [Pre-Chorus] No script left. No one to blame. Just us… and every name we claim. [Chorus] This is what we choose to be, not what they sold, not what they need. No borrowed crowns, no hidden keys— just broken people learning to breathe. This is what we choose to be, not perfect, not in harmony. But honest now, and finally free to shape the world we want to see. [Post-Chorus (getragen)] We decide… We decide… [Verse 2] We won’t rebuild the old mistakes, we won’t pretend we didn’t break. We’ll carry scars, but not as chains, we’ll carry names, but not as shame. No more gods made out of fear, no more lies we call “sincere”. We don’t need much to understand— just hearts that choose, and hands that stand. [Pre-Chorus] No throne left. No prophecy. Just what we are… and what we’ll be. [Chorus] This is what we choose to be, not what they sold, not what they need. No borrowed crowns, no hidden keys— just broken people learning to breathe. This is what we choose to be, not perfect, not in harmony. But honest now, and finally free to shape the world we want to see. [Bridge (Spoken / ruhig / klar)] No one’s coming to save us. So let’s stop waiting. [Break (Band / wachsend, würdevoll)] We decide… We decide… [Final Chorus (größer, aber nicht heroisch)] This is what we choose to be, not who we were, not history. No final truth, no guarantee— just one more chance at decency. This is what we choose to be, with all our faults, with all our needs. We’re not the end, we’re not the key— we’re just the ones who finally see. [Outro (ruhig, offen, bestimmt)] No crown. No code. Just choice.
