Destiny
I sit and I watch the world go around
Watching all the people do they smile or do they frown
Are they really happy or miserably sad
Are their lives nice 'n' smooth or do they feel they're going mad
Life isn't meant to be on an easy road
Often we're left to carry an extra load
But the twists and turns the road does take
Can be defined as your destiny or your fate
So do those people have a smile
Cause their life seems so worthwhile
Or is it the frown that they portray
Is simply from a really bad day
If their lives are nice 'n' smooth
Their lifestyle many do approve
But if in life they're miserably sad
People like to blame it's this or it's that
So those that don't have baggage
Does it give them extra courage
And those that have a load to carry
Does that make them angry
If the road they travel is full of twists and turns
Is that the life they really deserve
And if their road seems flat and straight
Is that the road you'd want to take
So as I sit and watch the people go by
They simply help me justify
The road of twists and turns is the road I want to take
Life is but a journey to your destiny or fate.
