Destiny...can be,
Anything, and everything,
That we want it to be...
But first we have to believe...

A flame burns inside,
That is so often denied,
Because we are so afraid,
To face reality...
We forget to dream...
But inside...everyone of us,
A voice screams...

We are shattered, yet whole,
We refuse to let go!
Seduced by the flame,
Of our destiny
Shattered, but whole,
We refuse to let go!
Inside we know,
Just who we're meant to be...

Follow the flame of destiny...

Destiny...might not be,
Exactly what we hoped,
What we thought we'd see...
Sometimes it's so hard to believe...

Everyone cries,
And yet we forget,
As soon as the tears dry,
We forget to be alive...
We...we forget to dream!
But inside everyone of us,
A voice screams...!

We are shattered, yet whole,
We refuse to let go!
Seduced by the flame,
Of our destiny
Shattered, but whole,
We refuse to let go!
Inside we know,
Just who we're meant to be!

Follow the flame,
Even though it will cause you pain,
Almost every day
Follow the flame,
Step into it and burn!
Step into it and learn!
Step into it...
And you will always know where to turn!

Because we are shattered, but whole,
And we refuse to let go!
Seduced by the flame,
Of our destiny...!
Shattered, but whole,
We refuse to let go!
Inside we know,
Just who we're meant to be!
Shattered, yet whole,
Forever following the flame,
Of our destiny...

Long ago, I wrote "Shattered", and in it are the lines "Shattered, but whole, I refuse to let go".

So I did what I do at times, from one piece comes the inspiration for another. :nod:

This is built around those two lines, with a little changing, "I" becomes "we".

This is very much about not knowing what the future holds, and making the best future we can, never giving up, no matter how wounded life makes us.

As many know, I encourage EVERYONE to think for themselves, to always believe in themselves, to always trust in, and seek out, their destiny.

And to be who they are, not what people tell them they should be.

Always believe. :heart:
