My Songs

Dear Destiny

Verse 1

July 5th,

Two-thousand two,

The world got to meet you,

You and your blue eyes and tiny hands,

Your blonde hair in tiny strands,

They watched you day and night,

Making sure you stayed alive,

Chorus

Dear Destiny,

I know you've always been,

Too little to understand what's happenin',

It's all unfair anyways,

So you're not missing anything,

Dear Destiny, I've tried to write this before,

But I could never find the words,

To tell you life isn't what you're told,

It's going to have it's ups and downs,

You'll smile and you'll frown,

And I'll be there for you through it all,

Just don't foget,

The places that you have lived,

And the people you've met along the way,

One day you'll have a grand ol' life,

Meet a guy,

Become a wife,

Tell your kids what I'm telling you

Verse 2

You struggled through school,

You know you're smart,

You just have to believe in you,

Not wanting to let anyone know,

That you lived in your van,

That you were hungry and cold,

You thought the bruises you got,

Were your fault,

Trying to win,

A losing game,

Wishing one day,

That it would change

Chorus

Dear Destiny,

I know you've always been,

Too little to understand what's happenin',

It's all unfair anyways,

So you're not missing anything,

Dear Destiny, I've tried to write this before,

But I could never find the words,

To tell you life isn't what you're told,

It's going to have it's ups and downs,

You'll smile and you'll frown,

And I'll be there for you through it all,

Just don't foget,

The places that you have lived,

And the people you've met along the way,

One day you'll have a grand ol' life,

Meet a guy,

Become a wife,

Tell your kids what I'm telling you

Bridge

And now you're all grown,

Talking about a family of your own,

I can't image what life would be like,

If you never made it out of that hospital alive,

Chorus

Dear Destiny,

I know you've always been,

Too little to understand what's happenin',

It's all unfair anyways,

So you're not missing anything,

Dear Destiny, I've tried to write this before,

But I could never find the words,

To tell you life isn't what you're told,

It's going to have it's ups and downs,

You'll smile and you'll frown,

And I'll be there for you through it all,

Just don't foget,

The places that you have lived,

And the people you've met along the way,

One day you'll have a grand ol' life,

Meet a guy,

Become a wife,

Tell your kids what I'm telling you
