lyrics

1st Verse:
As adults we are responsible for everything we do
Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through
The positive and negative
All that we experience
How is it the idea of fate is even relevant?
Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate
Experience is rooted from the choices we make
And even the examples clearly challenging this thought
We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck
Why is it that some of us resort to pass blame
Embracing of excuses as a way to explain
How we’re not accountable
Victimized and ridiculed
The world is out to get us and there’s nothing we could ever do
Looking for a sympathetic ear to take note
Convincing them we’re helpless and devoid of any hope
Just starving for some empathy
Clearly someone has to see
We’re living life as positive as anyone could ever be
Even if we’re positive we simply can’t ignore
The choices that we make in our lives and furthermore
The consequence and repercussion
Placing this in all discussion
Helping us with solving our problems and then overcoming
Trials and tribulations that we all succumb to
Embrace accountability for everything we do
So even in the negative
Clarity is evident
Dealing with our problems as they are is for the betterment

2nd Verse:
As adults we are responsible for everything we do
Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through
The positive and negative
All that we experience
How is it the idea of fate is even relevant?
Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate
Experience is rooted from the choices we make
And even the examples clearly challenging this thought
We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck
How is it we’re all a part of predetermined lives?
With all of our experiences earlier compiled
Devised by unknown entities
Everything is meant to be
Regardless of our actions can’t divert from our destiny
Practically we’re never in control of what we do
Just living for the moment with the hopes of getting through
Cause anything is worth believing
Mentally default to thinking
Everything that happens to us happens to us for a reason
Is the reason fate when no criteria exist?
To measure what it’s worth and we can easily dismiss
The things that aren’t factual
Here and of the actual
Mentally we’re reaching to avoid being accountable
All the while the reason has to do with our choice
Results of all our actions we initiate devoid
Of passive lives and ways of thinking
Always leads to us believing
Fate and not our choices are the root of everything of reason

3rd Verse:
As adults we are responsible for everything we do
Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through
The positive and negative
All that we experience
How is it the idea of fate is even relevant?
Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate
Experience is rooted from the choices we make
And even the examples clearly challenging this thought
We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck
You’re not a firm believer in the choices we make
There’s no way our choices clearly override our fate
How is this explainable if choices aren’t available?
Without a choice there’s nothing that our fate could be related to
Very few occasions you would have a valid point
But even those occasions are attributed to luck
From choices that are made from others
Having an effect upon us
Now we must examine the results and how to overcome them
Putting us directly back to choice and what it’s worth
Regardless if we make them they could help or they could hurt
Decisions as we all can see
Increase our probability
To counter any unforeseen events occurring suddenly
Still we are entirely consumed with having fate
And never take the time to realize or to relate
The choices that we normally make
Easily could correlate
Explaining why the idea of fate we should eliminate
As adults we are responsible for everything we do
Acknowledgement of choices surely helps to get through
The positive and negative
All that we experience
How is it the idea of fate is even relevant?
Everything that happens for a reason isn’t fate
Experience is rooted from the choices we make
And even the examples clearly challenging this thought
We can attribute those in fact to probability and luck.
