You made a choice long ago at the crossroads in life
To take the path that you thought would bring you your desires
You gave your all to show this world that you're so worth while
Then you found that all these things no longer satisfy
Then you go building your life upon the sand
It will crumble then you'll break
Unable to stand
You thought yourself invincible
You could do it all
Then my brother comes the pain
Pride for a fall
Silently you're lying there remembering years gone by
Recalling when you had it all but it left you high and dry
Wondering where did I go wrong in this life?
It was back at the crossroads that you chose you to glorify
Then you go building your life upon the sand
It will crumble then you'll break
Unable to stand
You thought yourself invincible
You could do it all
Then my brother comes the pain
Pride for a fall
You may be broken, down and hopeless
But there's still hope for you
Here's your next chance, don't look back now
At these crossroads, choose him
