Do you believe in destiny?
Whatever it may be?
I like to think I'm free
That this misery
Wasn't by decree
Of a higher being
Beyond me
That I could flee
If I please
I think you would agree
If you could see
The smallest and largest degree
To which I am my own detainee
But whether I am drifting in a boat at sea
Or rooted to my fate like a tree
At least I think I'm free
