Seal Our Fate

Gloria Estefan · Original Album Classics [2010]

They say it's never too late and though that might be the case sometimes

The sad truth of it is opportunity won't knock twice

You can put off until tomorrow but tomorrow might never come

Gotta think about the future 'cause today soon will be long gone

Where will you be a few years down the line,

Will it be everything you've dreamed of

It's always harder to do what is right

Sometimes one bad decision can mess up your life



(chorus)



We seal our fate with the choices we make

But 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, seal our fate, seal our fate

Seal out fate with the choices we make



(verse 2)



Surely, you say, it's not as bad as you make it sound

If we make a mistake you can always turn it back around

Get back on the straight and 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 ways that you had never dreamed of

Never worth the price you pay in the end

Instead of being ahead you're starting over again
