I could be
more than I am
but would things ever
be the same again?
This life I lead
is killing me
and I’m not convinced
this is my destiny ~

( tempo change )

I am the son of the son of
the man who came before
who left his life behind
to settle on these foreign shores
and the store he left my father
will one day be left for me
and I am not convinced
I want his legacy

This is the land of opportunity
and I hear that it awaits
for the man who’s not afraid to stand
who’s willing to tempt fate
I appreciate my family
and everything they’ve given me
still, I’m not convinced
I want this destiny

I cannot escape this feeling
somehow I was meant for different things
I have music in my blood
and I can hear the melodies
of the rain upon the rooftops
the winds blowing through the eaves
God, I hope that’s what
You have in mind for me

( tempo change )

Where do dreams
go when they’re dead
and it seems no-one’s heard
a single word you’ve said?
My life was planned
from infancy
I can’t believe that this
must be my destiny ~

( tempo change )

You don’t have to let me go
you just have to let me be
I am sure by now you know
I’m not content to live your dreams
I can hear my future calling
more each day with urgency ~

( tempo change )

If my life is truly mine to live
won’t you please just set me free?


Now I can be
more than I am
and nothing’s ever
going to be
the same again ~
