You are the person who has to decide
Whether to do it or toss it aside.
You are the person who makes up your mind
Whether you’ll lead or linger behind.
Whether you’ll try for a goal that is far
Or be contented to stay where you are.
Take it or leave it, there’s something to do
Just think it over - It’s all up to you!
What do you wish? To be known as a shirk,
Known as a person who’s willing to work,
Scorned as a loafer or praised by your chief
Scorned as a loafer or praised by your chief
Rich or poor or beggar or thief?
Eager or Earnest or dull through the day,
Honest or crooked? It’s you who must say!
You must decide in the face of the test
Whether you’ll shirk or give it your best.
