    Story Behind the Song
    For several years I worked as an English teacher in public schools. I came across situations that inspired this song far too often.

    Lyrics
    You're still the child of destiny
    Everyday I see you shine
    Voices from a nation's scar
    Twist the truth of what you are
    Darlin' don't you be so sad

    Whatever you do
    Don't let them keep you
    From coming through
    The great divide
    Maybe someday the sky will open
    Their one-track minds
    Might see the thread that ties us all
    Together, together
    Don't you let them keep you down

    Still you've got to understand
    Still the old ways die so hard
    The innocence you find in youth
    Brings you closer to the truth
    Keep searching for some common ground

    Whatever you do
    Don't let them keep you
    From coming through
    The great divide
    Maybe someday the sky will open
    Their one-track minds
    Might see the thread that ties us all
    Together, together
    Don't you let them keep you down

    Still the old ways die so hard
    Just remember who you are
    You're still the child of destiny...
