Hands of Fate

Hands of Fate… It’s month to month and week to week It’s day to day and hour to hour Minute to minute and one second to the next Breath to breath is how I’m living now The frailty of life apparent The strength of heart and mind expent In the hands of fate, I look to find my destiny… Years of work and endless searching Have brought me to this empty space A void, and I’m lost frozen in fear Unable to see beyond and what may await me there The frailty of life apparent The will of heart and mind expent In the hands of fate, I wonder what will become of me… Not the man I used to be, just a shadow on the wall An echo from an unknown voice, I cannot break my silence I fall to my knees with hands held high seeking absolution To shed self-condemnation and again to rise above it all The frailty of life apparent My inner will and strength expent In the hands of fate, I wait to meet my destiny…
