lyrics

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, 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 prayer for me, 'cus 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...
