Destiny Calls (Acoustic)

When I was a child My whole life was laid out in front of me Carved deep into stone, presented on pages and tapestry They said the world was in my hands, The world they'd never let me see No time for fun or fooling round No space for slip-ups in the sea For I was not a boy, but just a faulty tool They bend me into shape to then discard when not of use They say it's destiny And I believe But every day I'm slowly learning Everything I've ever been told Starts to fold under pressure and scrutiny No, I never asked many questions Just went along with what I was supposed to be Destiny calls But it doesn't sound familiar anymore Oh, what do you do When the riptide sweeps you off of your feet You've built your whole life on foundations of sand and deceit A world of black and white fades away And now it's all in shades of grey My lifelong guidance gone, I start to stray I give in to the current, find myself inside the fray 'Cause everything I've ever been told Starts to fold under pressure and scrutiny No, I never asked many questions Just went along with what I was supposed to be Destiny calls, it's fainter now Sweeter and stranger, too, somehow Yes, destiny calls And it doesn't sound familiar anymore
