He told me of our fate
She impressed on me to cogitate:
By decisions and by actions
We fall or we will elevate
To hide our lies may tempt our gaze
But truth will ever penetrate
By decisions and by actions
We fall or we will elevate
We may try, but we will fail
Should we attempt to forward blame
By decisions and by actions
We fall or we will elevate
Privilege and wealth may mitigate
But time and tide adjudicate
By decisions and by actions
We fall or we will elevate
Damned or praised by what we say
But what we do will seal our fate
By decisions and by actions
We fall or we will elevate
