Testi Destiny - Tarnation

Destiny

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
'Cause I’ve fallen off of these train tracks
And nearly seen my death
And I stand here with a song about to live
This will be my destiny
You will be my song, and I will sing
So don’t cover up your ears at me And what I have to tell
I will bet these words, they find you well
I know, I 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,
It’s something I can’t explain
That it’s almost hard to think the same
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 at 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.»
Oh 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 gently say a prayer for me
'Cause I will most assuredly die this century
And in this opportune-filled life that I will leave
I hope to God that I’ll live for you and not for me Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?
Is this thing on? Can you hear me?
'Cause I am speaking loud and clear!
