Destiny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In this world there's much confusion
And I've tasted the city life and it's not for me
Now I do dream of distant places
Where I don't know now, but it's destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
I want destiny
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me, come on, let me feel free
I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me ain't naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there's no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
I want destiny
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me, come on, let me feel free
Let me be me
I wanna get far from here
Should I up and fly away so fancy free
Nobody can change my mind
The words of destiny are calling me wild time
I want destiny (destiny)
It's the place for me
Yeah
Ah, destiny (destiny)
You and me
Should we fly away
So fancy free
Ah, destiny (destiny)
You and me
So fancy free
Destiny
Aaah, destiny
