Lyrics No Choice - Peter, Paul and Mary

No Choice

It was a love so big that it filled his heart
'Til it swelled and finally burst apart
And where the love spilled out they called it art
But he never really had no choice
Oh, he had no choice
No, he never had no choice
When he gave his river a voice
He never really had no choice
He was thinkin' that the pain came much too soon
When he locked himself inside his room
Oh it hurt real bad to write that tune
But he never really had no choice
And there were some who could not understand
When he built those castles with his hands
And he knew damn well they were only sand
But he never really had no choice
Oh, he had no choice
No, he never had no choice
When he gave his river a voice
He never really had no choice
Sometimes a man, sometimes a boy
He made some music and he made some noise
But he felt his pain and he felt his joy
And he never really had no choice
There was a beautiful fire inside of him
As he balanced way out on that limb
Could’a burned right through that branch so thin
But he never really had no choice
Oh
It was a love so big that it filled his heart
‘Til it swelled and finally burst apart
And where the love spilled out they called it art
But he never really had no choice
Oh, he had no choice
No, he never had no choice
When he gave his river a voice
He never really had no choice
Oh, he had no choice
No, he never had no choice
When he gave his river a voice
He never really had no choice
He never really had no choice
He never really had no choice
