Choices - Lyrics - Uriah Heep

The character is notable for his cloying humility, obsequiousness, and insincerity, making frequent references to his own "'humbleness". His name has become synonymous with being a yes man. He is the central antagonist of the latter part of the book.

I was walking all alone through a sideshow With passion and pain on each side Something inside me was calling For a chance to stay alive At the time I didn't know what was calling As my head was buried in grief Today I heard what was crying My freedom calling me And we all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way And the choice I've made is simple Passion over pain When I got to the end of the sideshow And looked back to where I had been My eyes filled with teardrops of loneliness For the ones who'll never be free And we all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way And the choice I've made is simple Passion over pain I thought of the children in the sideshow As they wandered around so confused Some day they'll make their decision But which one will they choose And we'll all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way And the choice I've made is simple Passion over pain And we'll all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way And the choice I've made is simple Passion, passion over pain And we'll all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way And the choice I've made is a simple one Passion over pain
