Destiny Calls (Acoustic) Lyrics

When I was a child

My whole life was laid out in front of me

Carved deep into stone, presented on pages and tapestry

They said the world was in my hands,

The world they'd never let me see

No time for fun or fooling round

No space for slip-ups in the sea

For I was not a boy, but just a faulty tool

They bend me into shape to then discard when not of use

They say it's destiny

And I believe

But every day

I'm slowly learning

Everything I've ever been told

Starts to fold under pressure and scrutiny

No, I never asked many questions

Just went along with what I was supposed to be

Destiny calls

But it doesn't sound familiar anymore

Oh, what do you do

When the riptide sweeps you off of your feet

You've built your whole life on foundations of sand and deceit

A world of black and white fades away

And now it's all in shades of grey

My lifelong guidance gone, I start to stray

I give in to the current, find myself inside the fray

'Cause everything I've ever been told

Starts to fold under pressure and scrutiny

No, I never asked many questions

Just went along with what I was supposed to be

Destiny calls, it's fainter now

Sweeter and stranger, too, somehow

Yes, destiny calls

And it doesn't sound familiar anymore
