I'M the Master of My Destiny

I'm the Master of my destiny.
No one can take that away from me.
Many will try but they will see.
I'm the master of my destiny.

I'm the master of my destiny.
I really don't care what they think of me.
They can try and try, contemptuously, but
I'm the master of my destiny.

I'm the master of my destiny. 
Try as you might, you won't crumble me.
I will walk with my head high, so humbly.
I'm the master of my destiny.

I'm the master of my destiny.
No one can stop me, only me.
But I'll rise and I'll rise, so gracefully.
Because I'm the master of my destiny!

A Whisper So Softly

Beaten down, broken
A woman so sad.
Don't know how I got here,
Didn't realize what I had.

Can't help but to wonder
I question God up above.
I heard a whisper so softly,
He said, "It's you, you've got to love."

So I sat there alone
And I started to cry.
I don't know how to do that,
But I'm willing to try!

Where do I start?
And how do I begin?
I heard a whisper so softly,
"My child, you must first look within."

So I sat and took inventory
Of all of the baggage I've claimed.
And I started to realize something,
I'm not completely to blame.

One day at a time
Is all I can do.
I heard a whisper so softly,
"My dear child, I've got you!"
