Hey hey
They say it's never too late and though
That might be the case sometimes
Sad truth of it is opportunity won't knock twice
Put off until tomorrow but tomorrow might never come
Gotta think about the future, today soon will be long gone

Where will you be a few years down the line?
Will it be everything you've dreamed of?
(Everything you've dreamed of?)
Always harder to do what is right
Sometimes one bad decision can mess up your life

Seal our fate with the choices we make
But don't give a second thought to all the chances we take
Could come up anytime, better be wide awake
'Cause we seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate, we seal our fate
Seal our fate, seal our fate with the choices we make

Surely, you say, it's not as bad as you make it sound
If we make a mistake, we can always turn it back around
(Turn it back around)
Get back on the straight narrow when I'm through having all my fun
After all it's my decision, I'm not really hurting anyone

Before you know it's gotten way out of hand
In a ways that you had never dreamed of
(You had never dreamed of)
Never worth the price you pay in the end
Instead of being ahead, started over again

Seal our fate with the choices we make
Don't give a second thought to the chances we take
Could come up anytime, better be wide awake
'Cause we seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate, yes, we seal our fate
We seal our fate, seal our fate with the choices we make

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Before you know it's gotten way out of hand
In ways that you had never dreamed of
(You had never dreamed of)
Never worth the price you pay in the end
Instead of being ahead you're started over again

Seal our fate with the choices we make
Don't give a second thought to the chances we take
Could come up anytime, better be wide awake
'Cause we seal our fate with the choices we make
(Seal our fate)
Hey, our fate
(Seal our fate)
That's a first step we take
(Seal our fate)
Yes, we seal our
We seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate
Fate, what would you do?
(Seal our fate)
It comes back to you
(Seal our fate)
Seal our fate
Seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate
Yea, we do
Yes, we seal our fate
Seal
(Seal our fate)
Yes, we seal our fate with the choices we make
