Lyrics
I've listened to my elders and betters, I've spoken to a man of letters,
The only things they're telling me are the same things I already see,
I've been to the fortune teller, read the words of the paper seller,
A million tales of lives and times they can tell but they can't tell mine,
Its Destiny.
One door opens another closes, every question the answer poses,
The only wisdom the old men tell, I can find in a wishing well,
Its Destiny.
Find the light in MC2, find the peace in the Holy Word,
Life is life you can only take it the way it comes, you can't escape it,
Its Destiny.
