Michael W. Smith's song 'Uploaded' explores the theme of personal choice and the journey of life. The lyrics encourage listeners to decide their own path, emphasizing that life is an open gate and we become what we pursue. It acknowledges both laughter and tears, calm and fear, and the voices that influence us. The song reflects on the freedom and responsibility of making choices, with a subtle nod to moral discernment ('le bon et le mal'). While not explicitly Christian, it aligns with biblical principles of free will and the importance of choosing wisely.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Follow the footsteps
Or travel down your own road
Designing your fate
Hear what your heart says
Still you decide which way to go
Your life's an open gate
'Le bon et 'le mal
These are the voices
We nous somme liberti'
We make the choices
Echoes of laughter
Dancing in distant corridors
With the tears of hearts undone
Dreams we chase after
Give us the key to any door
We are what we become
Holding and reaching
We face the calm, we face the fear
As we learn to win and lose
Voices are speaking
Still we hear what we want to hear
Our life is ours to choose
