Destiny

You know, life has a funny way of showing you things sometimes

It was standing room only, shoulder to shoulder in a crowded room
When I saw her for the first time on a summer evening in June
She took my breath away, stopped my heart, and tore my world apart
And I didn't even know her name, what a hell of a way to start
I bought her a drink, we had a conversation that made me think
Could she be the one to be my flowers, moon, stars, and sun?
That sweet summer breeze, enough to bring a strong man to his knees
When I asked her her name she said, "Pleased to meet ya, my name is

"Destiny
That means I'm on the way
Until you can't push me away" (you can't push)
"Destiny" (tell me, Destiny)
"I may not have been here yesterday
But I've been always on my way"

I took her for a walk down by the ocean side, she put her feet in the water
She opened up to me, and started confessin', there ain't nothin' harder
Then to tell the truth 'bout your secrets, skeletons in your closet
Things that God only know, shit that you ain't supposed to let go
But she said, inside, she felt like that it was her duty
From now and evermore, to always be true to me
I asked her, "Sweetie, why you tryin' to talk to me like you're my wife?"
She said, "I've been tryin' to tell you my name all night, I now hope you get it right
My name is"

"Destiny" (Destiny, love you, I love you, girl)
That means I'm on the way
Until you can't push me away (I never thought you ever push me away)
Destiny
I may not have been here yesterday
But I've been always on my way

I'm your Destiny (ah, Destiny, Destiny)
And the choice ain't even yours (you make it hard for me)
Ain't even yours to choose (I ain't even got no choice than you)
I'm your Destiny (oh, oh, Destiny)
And I'm always with you (please)
Whether you win or you lose

It wasn't a year later, my heart jumped on that elevator
It took me straight upstairs to ask the man himself for some consultation
What am I to do? (Am I to do) I got myself in a tight situation
I know that I love her, but still I got a few inhibitions, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna move too fast, and I don't wanna move too slow
But there's so much about life that I still just don't know
As I got up off my knees, and I ended my prayer
When I opened up my eyes, guess who was standing right there? My

Destiny (my Destiny, oh, oh, Destiny)
That means I'm on the way (oh, no)
Until you can't push me away (I know you're on the way)
Destiny (Destiny, Destiny, Destiny)
I may not have been here yesterday (you weren't here yesterday, it's alright)
But I've been always on my way (oh, Destiny)

I'm your Destiny (I'll deal with that, yeah)
And the choice ain't even yours
Ain't even yours to choose (it's plenty hard and the choice ain't even mine)
Forever your Destiny (you're just Destiny, yeah)
And I'm always with you (ooh)
Whether you win or you lose

Destiny, girl
Where'd you come from, baby? Mm-mm
I don't know, but I'm here with you, girl
I'm so glad, I'm glad
The heavens must've opened up above
And dropped you down
And dropped you down to me, Destiny, Destiny
