Lyrics

the choice
© 2005 Mary Lou Sudkamp and John Voorpostel

I saw a tragedy, a woman died today
she made her final choice and slipped beneath the train
I swear I saw a smile settle on her face
she seemed quite peaceful with the choice that she embraced

with darkness falling both were hurrying back home
mom and daughter arm in arm and chatting away
the 8 o clock was early out of baltimore
heading for the women as they cut across the rails

they must have heard the whistle blowing coming fast
some sixty seconds maybe more before it came
momma stumbled, and her foot lodged in the tracks
both had to face the hardest choice they ever made

momma knew her fate and looked into her daughter's eyes
said I'll always love you, please save yourself and run
we'll meet again some day and stand beside the Lord
but the daughter knew for both of them that day had come

I never saw a love quite like that
a daughter's love can sometimes be like stone
but here I saw it beautiful and shining in her eyes
she wouldn't leave her mother there alone

I saw unselfish love, a suicide today
a daughter hugged her mom and slipped beneath the train
I swear I saw a smile settle on her face
she seemed quite peaceful with the choice that she embraced
