I started to feel while I was walking down the street
Yes I did, and I started thinking about my destiny
And how maybe, maybe just someday I could repay

All the times you sang

All of your warm colors have painted all my days

And all of the tragic tears you took off of my face
'Cause I've fallen off of these train tracks
And nearly seen my death

And I stand here with a song that's left

This will be my destiny

You will be my song, and I will sing
So don't cover up your ears at me
And what I have to tell

I hope that these words, they find you well

I know, I know

When I see it I will know
It's home that I'll go,
When it's my turn to clock out


It's almost like dreaming,
But so real I can't explain

That it's almost hard to think or say
To try to be a different way


This will be my destiny
You will be my song and I will sing
So don't cover up your ears at me

And what I have to tell

So you, do you know what it is you do?

I $$#ume that you're thinking, "Why, yes, I do."
Well I just hope, and pray that you change that soon,
And I would hope and pray if I were you.


If I were you, If I were you
If I were you, If I were you

I'd be asking every single person I knew
To just please say a prayer for me
'Cause I will most $$#uredly die this century

And in this opportune-filled life that I will leave
I hope to God that I lived for you and not for me


Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?
Is this thing on? Can you hear me?
'Cause I am speaking loud and clear!
