Destiny

Look in the mirror

You say you're nothing

Look what you've got

You've got it all

 

So stop that thinking

And stop that drinking

That's not the cure

It's not your future

It's locked in certainty

That's not your destiny

 

Are you sitting on your own?

Are there tears?

Or are you smiling?

Because it's not so bad

 

So stop that thinking

And stop that drinking

That's not the cure

It's not your future

It's locked in certainty

That's not your destiny

 

Soft and slowly

It's how it happens

But that's never the end

They're still your friend

 

So stop that thinking

And stop that drinking

That's not the cure

It's not your future

It's locked in certainty

That's not your destiny

 

Look in the mirror

You say you're nothing

But that's never the end

They're still your friend

Are you smiling?

Because it's not so bad

 

So stop that thinking

And stop that drinking

That's not the cure

It's not your future

It's locked in certainty

That's not your destiny
