    Text

    Ev’ry man must decide
    Whether he will walk in the light.
    Ev’ry man must decide
    Whether he will walk, walk in the light
    Of creative altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness.
    This is the judgement.
    Life’s most persistent and urgent question.
    What are you doing?
    What you are doing for others? Ev’ry man must decide.
    What are you doing?
