DESTINY'S DANCEPicking up my pen once more Fearing thoughts that rise up from below Connect the letters words are formed They seem as empty as this pint of gin My concentration's flickering Like the light across the wall The television beckons like a dream All the men are trim and hard All the women centerfolds A mist is rising in my mind Autopilot override I pick my moments carefully I party in exclusive company I go to work and read my script Walking through this old familiar play A will of iron and caffeine Drive me through another day I try to make believe that I belong Seminars computer screens Management philosophies I'd rather let my heart explode Singing in some smoky bar I never sought to be this man before you I've walked across the coals and walked away Phantoms from my life are all around me As time just keeps on rolling like the sea Woman hold me close these truths surround me But creation always justifies it's end Emotion like the wind is tearing through me As destiny prepares to dance again When the dreams of a lifetime are slipping away And there's nowhere left to turn Just keep hunting your future and don't let it fade Let your soul drive the sorrow away...
