Nsay ki la - What about Tomorrow

In any quarrel, conflict, crisis
We must be careful what we say and do - they can build or scatter
Á mo kí dzəə̀n bey! Yes, Sir!

Things cause others, but the ripples will settle
Do you think about it?
What we say and do today
Has consequences for tomorrow
Things cause other things, yet the ripples will settle
Do you ever think about it?
The things we say and do today
Will have consequences tomorrow

There will come such a time when we shall answer
For what we said; for what we did
Will you be scared? - Too late!
Will you be scared? - Too late!

In difficult times, we must think carefully
We must act wisely
'Cause we can make or mar
We can build or scatter

What about tomorrow?
Are we helping? Are we ruining?
What about tomorrow?
God and history will judge us
What about tomorrow?
The things that we did, the things that we said
What about tomorrow?
What we failed to do, what we failed to say
What about tomorrow?

Will history remember you
As one who stood on the side of truth?
Will history remember you
As the one who defended the lies?
Will history remember you
For the defending the rights of the oppressed?
Will history remember you
For blocking your ears when the people were crying?
Will history remember you
That you cried out loud when things went wrong?
Will history remember you
That you used a crisis for personal gain?
Will history remember you
For the good or the bad, the ugly or the nasty? Hey!

Whatever you do, whatever you say
History will remember you
And what you fail to do, what you fail to say
History will remember you

Things cause others, but the ripples will settle
Do you think about it
There'll be time for the reckoning
Sooner or later. Remember!

What about tomorrow?
Are we helping? Are we ruining?
What about tomorrow?
God and history will judge us
What about tomorrow?
The things that we did, the things that we said
What about tomorrow?
What we failed to do, what we failed to say
What about tomorrow?
