Destiny

(album: Save Yourself - 1989)

Better run run away
No time, to be a hero
You wanna live to fight, another day
Don't look back, look straight ahead
One wrong move you'll be better off dead
They're out to get you boy
You'd better run run away
They'll soon be breathing down your neck
Gonna kick you in the crutch
Hold on to life, better stay in touch

You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand

Politics get in the way
Children starve and all they say
You wanna live your gonna have to pay
No way, we should stand for this
A false word and a broken promise
Don't let them fool you now
Retaliate it's not too late they'll try to complicate
Don't crawl not at all
I'm waiting for your call

You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand

Can't seem to get enough
Can't seem to show no mercy
They'll run you down if you let 'em
Pick it up, kick it up
Never let 'em get your back up
Take it in your stride, and let it go
I will follow; to the end of time
One word, one reason, soon it could be mine
It's love I'm speaking of
Turns you inside, outside, upside down
You're confused I feel like I've been used

You hold the power in your hands
Control your destiny, make them understand
You are a part of future plans
Together you and me, we gotta make a stand
