Making promises come easy
Back when they first fell in love
They talked of how they’d share the years together
Said we’ll work it out whatever comes
I guess we never know just how it happens
Vows forgotten that were once so true
Holding on to broken dreams and promises
It’s time to act on what they said they would do

‘Cause when it’s all said and done
It’s got to be all or none
Words are no good unless they’re backed with actions
It’s easier said than done
Talk of the race and never run
But the prize belongs to those who’ve said and done

Love is one of many pages
In a story only time will tell
It’s a book of all the words we’re saying
Read by those who see us do as well

‘Cause when it’s all said and done
It’s got to be all or none
Words are no good unless they’re backed with actions
It’s easier said than done
Talk of the race and never run
But the prize belongs to those who’ve said and done

When it’s all said and done
Have you done what you said
When it’s all said and done
Have you done what you said you would do
