VERSE 1
Takin' my chances, and doing things my way, were things that I never did.
It's always so easy, let life go were it takes you, ending up wherever you will.
One day my Daddy told me, a story bout a man, who tried to make his own way.
He struggled and struggled, and tried and he tried, till he found out that there's only one way.
CHORUS-
Your destiny is unchangeable, no matter what they say.
Golden Lightning bolts (of destiny) will zap your dreams away.
VERSE 2
I'd had enough, it was time to do something, I had to challenge my fate.
So late in the night, I grabbed a few things, I was gonna leave this town tonight.
I ran away sneaky, I ran away quiet, it looked like I had luck on my side!
Just as soon as I thought, that I had got away cleanly, I was in for a nasty surprise.
CHORUS-
The paths are already chosen, no room is left to play.
Golden Lightning bolts (of destiny) will zap your dreams away.
VERSE 3
Right on my tail, for the entire time, was that demon that some call fate.
No matter where I ran to, or tried to hide, it was there to try keep my path straight.
I begged and I pleaded, I cried and I cried, to please let me choose my own way.
But your fate is a bastard, a thing with no feelings, something you just can't earase.
CHORUS-
Man- C'mon now, Destiny. Why you gotta be so cruel?
Destiny- Your place is not to judge, little man. Play it straight and good things are bound to come your way.
Man- But I can't sit back and take this ride called fate without some kind of intervention!
Destiny- Be forewarned. If you try and change the hand life delt to you, you will end in certain disaster.
Man- Than that is a risk I will have to take! From now on, I am going to be the chairman of my own destiny!
Destiny- Golden Lightning bolts (of destiny) will zap your dreams away!)
