What will be said of you?
You may have your life to live and may do as you please
You may do just what you like but know this
you will be known and remembered for it and so
you should be careful for what you do for it will be said of you
But what will be said of you?
I mind my business and don't care of other men's business
I care for other men and seek how to be of help
Whichever way you choose is yours but know this
Long or soon after you have chosen or done
It will be said of you;
But what will be said of you?
History is kind and history is unkind
What doth it matter when I am long gone?
Why should I strive do do when I could be at rest?
You may do or not do, remember or let me warn you
It will be said of you:
But what will be said of you?
Of these men it will be said:
David...He slew Goliath
Lincoln...He set slaves free and defended the union
Jefferson...He wrote the declaration
Jesus Christ...He died to save all
I know not that which thou seeks to do but
Long or soon after your have chosen or done
it will be said of you;
But what will be said of you?
Upon challenge, some have risen while others sat
Upon threats, some put their lives on the line or off the line
That they may survive
Whatever thou doest is thine to do well but know this
Long or soon after your have chosen or done
it will be said of you;
But what will be said of you?
Great and minor men have walked the earth
The first for a cause gave their all, the later gave none
Some, for liberty to others paid a price with blood that their offspring
may live and be freemen.
And so it is said of them:
They did right, they did might, they did great things
So do quick what thou mayest but remember history may be unkind and kind
I say this so that thou mayest proceed with love toward all and malice toward none
Or with hate toward all and love toward none.
However, know this,
Long or soon after your have chosen or done
it will be said of you;
But what will be said of you?
Some have through their deeds wrought destruction
while some through their inaction brought peace
Men diligently strove to advance comfort
While others worked hard to increase pain
It may matter not what you think of your actions
What will matter when it matters is
Long or soon after your have chosen or done
it will be said of you;
But what will be said of you?
Of these men it will be said
Osama bin Laden...He was a terror
Okocha...He was a dribbler
Einstein...He propounded theory
Martin Luther King Jr...He had a dream
Barak Obama...He became the first African American President of the US
Joshua King...He wrote "what will be said of you"
The list may continue but I cannot wait to do or not do cause soon after
I have done or not done, it will be said of me
But what will be said of me?
I therefore resolve to do right as God gives me might
and to do it on time that it may be said of me
He did right as God gave him might
What about you?
What will be said of you?
You may have your life to live and may do as you please
You may do just what you like but know this
you will be known and remembered for it and so
you should be careful for what you do for it will be said of you
