Destiny



Here's a rap song, Destiny, that started coming to me while I was putting away groceries one afternoon on February 22, 2009 around 7:30 p.m.  I remember it was same week that we recorded When Life Lets You Down,Get Up!  However, I haven't recorded this one yet.  Words for the missing stanza, the second one from the end, finally came to me September 25, 2009 while I rode the bus home.  I hope you find it inspiring.

Destiny

Destiny, divinity
tell me what you mean to me
closed eyes lead to infinity
my endless possibilites
locked up deep inside of me.
 
Help me end this suffering
Lead me far away from me
Illusions I can't bear to see
Help me find the real me
Buried deep:  divinity.
 
Deny, deny or why do I
Believe I am my body or someone else’s word?
I see dead people have you heard?
Creeping, crawling, wailing, yawning,
pretending to be everything to
everyone, but they can't see they're dead.
 
Smothering their souls inside
They run away and try to hide,
so they won't have to feel the pain.
A candle running from a flame
Afraid they’ll melt and slip away

They live their lives not ever growing
and end up living: but never knowing
about a life pursuing dreams.
How sad and how depressing
They’ll never know what they are missing.

Destiny, divinity
Help me, please, be true to me
Cuz when I am, I’m truly free
I AM TRUE DIVINITY
I am one with God:  you see.
And then, he co-creates with me.

Destiny, divinity
tell me what you mean to me
closed eyes lead to infinity
my endless possibilites
locked up deep inside of me.
