[Intro] Two mountains and a valley. Six tribes on either side. [Verse 1] When you cross, he said, stand up great stones and plaster them with lime. Write every word on them plainly. Let the whole hill read the line. Build an altar out of field rock. Let no iron touch the stone. Put half of you on Gerizim and half on Ebal, bare as bone. [Verse 2] The Levites shout it down the valley. The valley says, Amen. Rain on the field in its season, bread in the basket again. Or a sky of bronze above you, the ground turned iron at your feet, dust coming down where the rain should be, and a far nation at the gate eating what you reap. [Pre-Chorus] I was there in Moab. I carry water. The woodcutter stood by me. He said this word is for us all, and the ones we'll never see. [Chorus] Choose life. Choose life. You don't have to climb the sky. You don't have to cross the sea. It's in your mouth, it's in your chest, as near as it can be. Choose life. Choose life. [Verse 3] And if you're scattered past the edge of every sky you know, and there you turn, and there you listen, He won't let you go. He'll gather you from where you are and bring you home to your fathers' land, and cut the hardness off your heart and hold you in His hand. [Chorus] Choose life. Choose life. You don't have to climb the sky. You don't have to cross the sea. It's in your mouth, it's in your chest, as near as it can be. Choose life. Choose life. [Bridge] Here is the good. Here is the dust. Here is the blessing. Here is the curse. The sky is watching. So is the ground. Choose for your children first. Hold on to Him and hear Him. He is the breath you breathe, and every year you'll ever have in the land you'll receive. [Final Chorus] Choose life. Choose life. You don't have to climb the sky. You don't have to cross the sea. It's in your mouth, it's in your chest, as near as it can be. Choose life. Choose life. So you can live. So your children live. [Outro] Two mountains and a valley. Choose.
