Destiny, destiny protect me from the world. Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world. Here we are with our running and confusion,

Oh, you came there, God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Lord. No matter how, no matter how long it take, yeah. No matter how long it take, nigga.

Young and wired. Set to explode in the heat. You won't tire. Cause baby was born with the beat. Take you higher than you've ever known.

It ain’t no wonder why we lose control. When we’re always a heart attack away from falling in love. Well, I know that we’ve been hardly holding on.

Safety pins. Holding up the things. That make you mine. About your hair. You needn't care. You look beautiful all of the time. Shine, shine, shine on. Yes.

I get so distracted. By some people's reactions. That I don't see my own faults. For what they are. For what they are. At times so self destructive.

See, I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor.

You've got the words to change a nation but you're biting your tongue. You've spent a lifetime stuck in silence afraid you'll say something wrong.

Run away. I'm living with a hole inside. A piece of me I have yet to find. Edge of reason, lines uneven. Turn me off, feel the blood so cold.

Finally. I've been waitin' for this moment. For you to see. The real me. It's been an illusion. I never meant to fool you. I got caught up in a fantasy.

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song. This Cornerstone, this solid ground. Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

Oh, no, look what you've done. Left me the victim of a hit and run. Picked up and let down. You were never as you led on.

You bumped into me. I was down and you took me up past the ceiling. You are the disease. I’m the remedy that numbs all your feelings.

I've seen a lot of sights and traveled many miles. Shook a thousand hands and seen my share of smiles.

Can your heart be mine in search? Cause I have no time. To help you find all the words. Melodies and memories. Stories that sound absurd.

Hmm. I know where you've been, what you've done. Who you loved is a part of who you are. But that maturity ship sails when I hold you in my arms.

I'm trying hard to figure out. Just what this feeling is all about. Rush of blood like a wave crashing. When I'm holding you close to me.

Guarding yourself from the love of another. Left you with nothing tonight! Why does it sound like the devil is laughing. Leaving me haunted tonight!

Nothing's ever quite the way you think. Sometimes I can't see what's in front of me. I know you look at me as just a friend.

Never know how much I love you. Never know how much I care. When you put your arms around me. I get a fever that's so hard to bear.
