Peace Is a Choice I Make

I've walked through storms that had no name

Held my breath through winds of blame

I've smiled when silence filled the room

And danced inside my quiet gloom

People see the calm I wear

But don't know what I fight in there

Every scar I carry proud

Is proof I rise, not stay down

I don't wait for the world to be kind

I find the light that lives in my mind

Peace is a choice I make

Even when the world won't change

I lay my fears to rest

In the space I breathe, I find my strength

Even when the noise won't break

I anchor my soul and float through the ache

'Cause peace is a choice I make

And I make it every day

I've been the fire, I've been the rain

I've carried joy inside of pain

Held the hands that let me go

Still learned to love, still let it show

The world will spin and people fall

But I don't need to catch it all

I build a place within my chest

Where all my tired dreams can rest

No storm can steal what I've become

My silence roars louder than some

Peace is a choice I make

Even when the world won't change

I lay my fears to rest

In the space I breathe, I find my strength

When the chaos tries to take

I whisper to my soul, "You're safe"

'Cause peace is a choice I make

And I make it every day

I've cried without a sound

But found my power underground

My calm is not weakness, it's flame

Burning quiet in my name

Peace is a choice I make

When the world is cold and gray

I hold my heart like gold

And in the storm, I'll never sway

I won't wait for skies to clear

I plant my hope and bloom right here

'Cause peace is a choice I make

And I make it every day
