Destiny

I started to feel while I was walking down the street
Yes I did, and I started thinking about my destiny
And how maybe, maybe, just someday
I could repay, all the times, you sang

All of your warm colors have painted all my days
And all of the tragic tears you took off of my face
See I've fallen off these train tracks, and nearly seen my death
And I stand here with a song that's left

This will be my destiny
You will be my song and I will sing
So don't cover up your ears and hear me
And what I have to tell
I hope that these words they find you well

I know, I'll know, when I see it I will know
It's home, that I'll go, when it's my turn to clock out
It's almost like dreaming,
But so real I can't explain
That it's almost hard to think or say
To try to be a different way

This will be my destiny
You will be my song and I will sing
So don't cover up your ears, hear me
And what I have to tell...

So you, do you know what it is you do?
I assume, that you're thinking,
"Why, yes I do."
Well I just hope and pray that you change that soon
And I would hope and pray if I were you

If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
I'd be asking every single person I knew
To just please say a pray for me
Cause I will most assuredly die this century
And in this opportune-filled life that I will leave
I hope to God that I lived for you and not for me
