But there was no other choice
joyful in hope, patient in affliction
I​ packed my love, my will and my voice

Despite doubts, I would hold my poise
Parting sorrow would not be my addiction
because there was no other choice

I heard my answers amidst the noise
Is this real? was always the question
Therefore, I packed my love, my will and my voice

I did cry; today I rejoice
Striving forward is my affection
Because there is no other choice

​Overcoming all that destroys
I beseech me as a benediction
As I packed my love, my will and my voice

In this chapter, counting joys
No question of my sweet resurrection
Behold, I have every choice
Because I packed my love, my will and my voice
