     What is your future 
     What is your dream 
     To go far ahead 
     Or are things really what they seem 

     What is your wish 
     What is your hope 
     To go get a job 
     But how will you cope 

     What is your will 
     What is your plan 
     To turn around the world 
     Or stay where you stand 

     What will you do 
     When the time comes to pass 
     To choose your own road 
     To carve your own path 

     What is your destiny 
     What will you choose 
     To do with your life 
     And whether you win or lose 

     The world is all a stage 
     And the spotlight shines on you 
     But there is no script to read from 
     For you create what is true 

     You are your own boss 
     Your own person, delegate 
     Stand up for what you believe 
     Or stop to contemplate 

     What can you do 
     To carry your plans out 
     Success stories in the paper 
     Are things you read about 

     Go ahead, take the initiative 
     And carry out your goals 
     But in the end it comes to naught 
     For the death bell will still toll
