Choosing Sides

Choosing sides
Choosing sides
Man, I hate to be choosing sides.

But I’m choosing sides,
My side is the wild side.
Lord, I wish I didn’t have to be choosing,
choosing sides.

Indivisible humanity
Increasing to insanity.
I find myself caught in the middle
Of a war against the wild.

& I am choosing sides.
My side is the wild side.
My side is the side of life.
My side is the wild side.

Caught in the middle, one more individual
Human discerns
She is not alone.
Her heart learns.

I am choosing sides
My side is the side of the Griz
My side is the owls in the trees.
My side is the whales in the sea.

(Chorus) I’ll shout it from the mountain peaks.
I’ll scream it in the city streets.
I’ll blaze it in blood across my chest:
I am human, I am human, Yes,
But I’m choosing sides.
My side is the wild side
Lord, I hate to be choosing, choosing sides.

It’s down to the wire, “fight or flight.”
They try to tell me might is right,
But there’s no place left to run and hide,
& I ain’t goin down without a fight.

I am choosing sides.
My side is the mountainside.
My side is the rocks in the Earth.
My side is decay and rebirth.

So much destruction our eyes can see.
It’s down to this split with humanity.
We’ve been runnin’ out of time,
& the chasm is growing deep and wide.

Let’s be choosing sides.
Our side is the wild side
Our side is the side of life.
Our side is the wild side.

(Chorus)

Choosing sides.
Choosing sides.
Man, I hate to be choosing, choosing sides.
(Repeat & fade)
