| 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 |
