🎶 Choose Wisely My Child (Reggae Song Lyrics)
Verse 1
My child don’t choose a careless way,
Don’t let your free mind go astray.
Not every hand is meant to hold,
Not every heart is pure like gold.
Verse 2
My child don’t choose a lazy flame,
A partner who just speaks your name.
They won’t build, they won’t fight,
They’ll drain your days, steal your light.
Chorus
Run away from the hurtless soul,
They’ll break your fire, take control.
They’ll eat your work, leave you dry,
Turn your dreams into a lie.
Verse 3
Choose the one who stands and builds,
Who walks with you through broken fields.
Not the one who watches fall,
But lifts you up when you call.
Chorus
Run away from the hurtless soul,
They’ll break your fire, take control.
They’ll eat your work, leave you dry,
Turn your dreams into a lie.
Outro
My child, choose wisely, see the sign,
Guard your heart, protect your line.
For the road you choose today,
Will shape your life along the way.
