I am Destiny Lyrics

I was so close, fruit hangin' on the tree

If I was older, stronger, maybe I'd be free

Could've grabbed that prize, could've made it mine

But my childhood was stolen, lost in time

Woke one morning to a nostalgic scent

Mom's smell, green breeze, heaven-sent

Next time I woke, iron taste in my mouth

Maggots swarmin', reality struck

Finally woke up

He took everything from me

My innocent, untainted time

Moments filled with love and joy

He took my mother from me

Don't lay a hand on him

Don't lay a hand on him if you find him

He's mine to handle

He's mine to handle, he's mine alone

I'm the one to take him out

The air is shaking, engines roar drawing near

Old gas and burnt rubber, you can smell the fear

They're closing in fast, the race is mine to steer

Victory's in sight, it's my time to premiere

Lost my arm in the fight

No hand to reach the fruit, or hold Mom in my sleep

Left with a promise, stars guiding my way

And that man, in the shadows, still in play

Dry sand rises like dust in the air

My vision blurs, my mouth feels rough

The sky is covered with a gray veil

I just learned the sun has two faces

Not like the cloudy skies I saw with mom

No more clouds bringing the blessing of rain

The sun emerging from the dusty sky

Stabs my back like a sharp blade

He took everything from me

My innocent, untainted time

Moments filled with love and joy

He took my mother from me

Don't lay a hand on him

Don't lay a hand on him if you find him

He's mine to handle,

He's mine to handle, he's mine alone

I'm the one to take him out

Gonna reclaim who I was, that girl full of love

Caught him, then I saw, nothing in his glove

The seed's in my hand, potential packed tight

I'm the seed, I am my destiny

He took everything from me

My innocent, untainted time

Moments filled with love and joy

He took my mother from me

Don't lay a hand on him

Don't lay a hand on him if you find him

He's mine to handle,

He's mine to handle, he's mine alone

I'm the one to take him out

I'm the seed, I am my destiny
