Seal Our Fate
Gloria Estefan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey hey
They say it's never too late and though
That might be the case sometimes
Sad truth of it is opportunity won't knock twice
Put off until tomorrow but tomorrow might never come
Gotta think about the future, today soon will be long gone

Where will you be a few years down the line?
Will it be everything you've dreamed of?
(Everything you've dreamed of?)
Always harder to do what is right
Sometimes one bad decision can mess up your life

Seal our fate with the choices we make
But don't give a second thought to all the chances we take
Could come up anytime, better be wide awake
'Cause we seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate, we seal our fate
Seal our fate, seal our fate with the choices we make

Surely, you say, it's not as bad as you make it sound
If we make a mistake, we can always turn it back around
(Turn it back around)
Get back on the straight narrow when I'm through having all my fun
After all it's my decision, I'm not really hurting anyone

Before you know it's gotten way out of hand
In a ways that you had never dreamed of
(You had never dreamed of)
Never worth the price you pay in the end
Instead of being ahead, started over again

Seal our fate with the choices we make
Don't give a second thought to the chances we take
Could come up anytime, better be wide awake
'Cause we seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate, yes, we seal our fate
We seal our fate, seal our fate with the choices we make

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

Before you know it's gotten way out of hand
In ways that you had never dreamed of
(You had never dreamed of)
Never worth the price you pay in the end
Instead of being ahead you're started over again

Seal our fate with the choices we make
Don't give a second thought to the chances we take
Could come up anytime, better be wide awake
'Cause we seal our fate with the choices we make
(Seal our fate)
Hey, our fate
(Seal our fate)
That's a first step we take
(Seal our fate)
Yes, we seal our
We seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate
Fate, what would you do?
(Seal our fate)
It comes back to you
(Seal our fate)
Seal our fate
Seal our fate with the choices we make
Seal our fate
Yea, we do
Yes, we seal our fate
Seal




(Seal our fate)
Yes, we seal our fate with the choices we make

Overall Meaning

“Seal Our Fate” is a song by Gloria Estefan that delivers a powerful message about life’s consequences and the impact of the choices we make. The song begins with the statement that even though it is said that it's never too late, sadly opportunity won't knock twice. The song goes on to suggest that putting things off until tomorrow might never come because time can go by so fast. Estefan reminds listeners that everything they've ever dreamed of might not come to fruition and that making the right choices is not easy. The song implies that making one bad decision can mess up one's life, thereby emphasizing the importance of always thinking wisely and making informed decisions.


The main theme of the song is that we are responsible for our own fate, and we have the power to make choices that determine our outcome. The chorus emphasizes this repeatedly, stating that “we seal our fate with the choices we make” and that we should “be wide awake” and be alert to the chances we take. Like many of Estefan's songs, it delivers a positive message delivered in an upbeat, rhythmic composition.

Es increíble ver a Gloria Estefan bailar y danzar como siempre después del grave accidente de transito que tuvo en 1990 y que casi le cuesta la vida y que casi la deja paralitica por las graves lesiones en su espalda. Este vídeo musical fue lanzado al año siguiente de su accidente, en 1991.
