Lyric

This life is my destiny, carved in stone

No matter what happens, it’s God’s design

I hold every emotion, joy and pain

And today again, I give thanks for this day

It gets lonely being on my own sometimes

But this life is still my destiny

So today I’ll write another song and sing

Let the sound fill this empty space around me

And once again I’m reminded

That my life is always shining bright inside

No matter what comes, I’ll accept it as my fate

That’s how I’ve overcome it every time

God and my ancestors in heaven guide my way

That’s how I’ve overcome it every time

And from now on, through the years ahead

I’ll keep overcoming it, time after time

The shadows stretch long across these empty walls

Memories whisper like ghosts in the dark

But even in silence, I feel the pull

A quiet force that’s written in the stars

I’ve fallen hard, tasted the bitter ground

Felt the weight of questions with no reply

Still something inside keeps lifting me up

A hidden light that never says goodbye

I don’t need to understand it all

I just need to keep walking through the flame

No matter what comes, I’ll accept it as my fate

That’s how I’ve overcome it every time

God and my ancestors in heaven guide my way

That’s how I’ve overcome it every time

And from now on, through the years ahead

I’ll keep overcoming it, time after time

Some days the silence screams louder than words

And the weight of tomorrow feels too heavy to bear

I stare at the ceiling, counting the cracks in my heart

Wondering if anyone out there even cares

But deep in my chest, there’s a fire that won’t die

A voice that keeps saying “this path is your own”

So I pick up the pen, let the feelings collide

And turn all this darkness into something I’ve known

If this is my destiny, then let it burn

Let it shape me, break me, make me whole again

I won’t run away from what I’m meant to be

I’ll sing it louder till the heavens hear my name

No matter what comes, I’ll accept it as my fate

That’s how I’ve overcome it every time

God and my ancestors watching over me

That’s how I’ll overcome it every time

And till the very end of this long road

I’ll keep overcoming it…

With every song I write, with every note I play

This is my destiny
