cd: Mist of the Irish Sky
track 12: What You Do
What you do is your legacy
What you do is your life
Your thoughts and words mean nothing
But your actions will decide
If the man within the mirror
Looks proudly back at you
Be strong in your convictions
Look hard at what you do
If you claim to love your brother
And profess to make him strong
And you ridicule the beggar
Can you reconcile that wrong
Can you see the face of hatred
And then calmly turn the page
Does a child unlearn that lesson
At the time he comes of age
Chorus
If you speak of true forgiveness
But your hands they push away
You’ll find that your resistance
Is a tragic price to pay
When all the words are tallied
You may claim you never knew
But the truth it isn’t altered
What remains is what you do
Chorus
When you ponder life’s reflection
And the vision it reveals
Do you drown in your possessions
Are the faces ‘round you real
In the final valuation
What you own or who you knew
Counts only next to nothing
It’s all in what you do
Chorus
Dulahan Music
