Faded love, faded dreams
But my children smile, they smile so clean
I gave it all, poured out my soul
But I'm no longer on the priority roll
Yet here I stay, watching them grow
My babies happy, that's all I know
Ese o, Baba, see my heart break
Yet I smile for their sake
Emotionally gone, but physically here
Love's a ghost that I can no longer hear
Choices, choices, the choices I make
Stay and be silent, or risk what I break
If I remain, no love for me
But my children's joy is all I see
If I go, the world so wide and unknown
But will they still call this place home?
Choices, choices—Imela, Chukwu knows
It's the love of my kids that still flows
They don't see the sacrifice, the empty bed
The words left unsaid, the tears I've shed
But their laughter is my anointing oil
Their happiness, it's worth all my toil
You too much Papa, for giving me this test
To choose between my peace and what's best
God dey, even in this faded place
I see Your grace upon their face
Choices, choices, the choices I make
Stay and be silent, or risk what I break
If I remain, no love for me
But my children's joy is all I see
If I go, the world so wide and unknown
But will they still call this place home?
Choices, choices—Imela, Chukwu knows
It's the love of my kids that still flows
Faded love, but their love remains
In every choice, in every pain
Halleluyah—the choices I make
