'The Way'

We are in control of our own destiny--not others, not any thing else. Only we can shape who we are, and where we "choose" to go--for the good or the bad.

Forgetting what I was
To make love with what I'm not
This I promise you
Undoing all the lines drawn between
Nothing will ever open me,
Quite the way I have learned to breathe
I have walked through the forests deep
Seen the wandering wildebeests
All the heart I put into
All of the lessons I've lived through
..mainly from within
I don't look to the midnight sky,
Quite the way I used to.. Used to..
Even when stars refuse to shine
Still..
It is I who will draw the battle lines
Here in the sand
Or, even on solid ground
'Cuz I'm in control
The master of my own fate
The captain of my own ship
Yes, I'll be the only one who will determine my destiny
And there's nothing in the way
Not today or any day
Because I choose to have the final say
And I know..
I know..
I know,
Which way I want to go today!
