LYRICS
LET US CHOOSE
(Courtney, Draper, Ruleman, Ruhlman)
VERSE ONE
We helped Ravi dig a tunnel, they fenced in Edwin’s Yard
Traveling through our secret channel, Little Joey Standing guard
Tommy’s dad said we shouldn’t play with Millie
Something about the color of her skin
We all thought, that was really silly
So we made a way to let her in
CHORUS
We’ll reach out to friends over fences with no gates
We’ll reach out to friends over walls that separate
And we won’t let fear teach us to hate.
Let us choose our own playmates
VERSE TWO
I go to church in a little chapel, Joey goes to a temple
We play together every afternoon, yeah life can be that simple
God made us kids all shapes and sizes
Tall, small, brown black and white
And filled our hearts, with love and kindness
That love will help us, get it right
CHORUS
REFRAIN
Let us choose, let us choose, let us choose, let us choose.
Let us choose, let us choose, let us choose, let us choose.
Let us choose, let us choose, let us choose, let us choose.
Let us choose, let us choose, let us choose, let us choose.
Music by Richard Courtney, Denise Draper, Scott Ruleman, and Bill Ruleman
