I think that what is also intimated is that often some Christians mistakenly believe that when they die they then experience the Kingdom of God, but in the lyrics "everyday I get to choose my fate" can simply mean everyday you can experience God's kingdom Today through the life of Jesus. Jesus spoke of the kingdom at hand, that is the whole point of the gospels. John 3: 3,5, also in Psalms 145:13, you see the reference. The choice is weather we are going to be an active part in it. " Are you ready now" can easily be interpreted as are you ready to accept Jesus and begin to live in the kingdom of heaven now. The lyrics are full of the opportunity to choose each day to live the live of Jesus as a Christian, not just do good things and wait until we die and hopefully get to heaven to experience Gods Kingdom. Jesus came among us to show and teach the life for which we were made. He came very gently, opened access to the governance of God with him, and gives us the opportunity of freedom in truth. He overcame death and remains among us. By relying on his works and presence, we are able to have that little realm that makes up our life into the infinite rule of God. That is the Eternal kind of life. Accepting Jesus and living the life he instructed for us allows us to experience the kingdom now. Which by the way is awesome. That is the choice, that is the "chance to change". Are you "ready now, or are you waiting for the afterlife"
