"it's your life" is the tenth track on the album my paper heart by christian artist francesca battistelli. [contemporary christian music]
francesca grew up in a family very involved with music and the stage, and loved it from the first. on her style of music, which is a blend of ccm, soul, and pop: "I really longed to bring something authentic to the [Christian music] scene that even non-Christians could listen to."
"it's your life" was used as the music backing for a compilation of shots put together into a video for the camp i just attended. it was shown on the last night as a video to give people an idea of some of the highlights of the camp and what we girls did. i liked the song and came back and looked it up and only now realized i probably could have found the name in the program instead of taking forever and a day to find the right song online.
in this song, i'd actually thought the singer was male...from listening to this, francesca doesn't have a very obviously feminine voice, but i haven't heard any of her other songs, so i can't say.
the meaning in the song is fairly clear and mentions choices in your life, to live life as you and to stand up for the things you believe in. however you act reflects what you believe, and the world will see that.
i like the song. i think i might incorporate it into "hell's angel" some way, as in perhaps a soundtrack for a chapter.
This is the moment
It’s on the line
Which way you gonna fall?
In the middle between
Wrong and right
But you know after all
(Chorus)
It’s your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s your life
Are you who you always said you would be?
With a sinking feeling in your chest
Always waiting for someone else to fix you
Tell me when did you forget
(Chorus)
To live the way that you believe
This is your opportunity
To let your life be one that lights the way
(Chorus)
