Choose What You Amplify

I saw a smiling lady walking down the lane
Purple scarf wrapped around her silver mane
She was moving slowly leaning on her cane
But she laughed when I asked if she was in any pain
You choose what you amplify she said
Don't you know, pain's just some thoughts inside your head
I'll have lots of time to complain when I'm dead
You choose what you amplify, she said

There's a man sitting on a park bench looking numb
Another lover's gone, just like the last one
He's thinking of all the things he could have done
Doesn't see the trees, doesn't feel the sun
You choose what you amplify my friend
Unplug memories that no longer serve ends
On this one thing your happiness depends
You choose what you amplify my friend
Walk right by that magnet
Don't slow down, don't stare, don't run
Push or pull that thought, it takes you back
And you're undone
And you know that bullets don't come back
Better lose the gun
I was searching for an answer that would not betray
I visited the mystic by the hidden bay
I told him that my troubles would not go away
And listened as he told me things I share with you today
You choose what you amplify he said
Pick a song you like and turn it up to ten
On this one thing your happiness depends
You choose what you amplify he said
Why waste your time wishing there was some way to go back
You can't replace the courage you just think you might have lacked
And you know that bullets don't come back
Better lose the gun
Choose what you amplify my friend
Pick a song you like and turn it up to ten
On this one thing your happiness depends
You choose what you amplify my friend

Choose what you amplify my friend
Pick a song you like and turn it up to ten
On this one thing your happiness depends
You choose what you amplify my friend
You choose what you amplify my friend
You choose what you amplify my friend
