Chosen One

John Michael Howell

Light, dark sides of this heart
Waging a war in his soul
They say he's destined for great
Burdened by all of their hopes

Destiny (destiny) whispering (whispering)
When people hear of his name
They call him

The chosen one, the loaded gun
The one to bear the weight
Through trial and pain, his path was paved
A prisoner of fate
He's just a man trying to stand
Under the weight of the world
Nobody knows the burden he holds
There's nowhere to run
For the chosen one

Some say what makes a man great
Is all in the choices he makes
But somewhere deep in my bones
I've always known it was fate

Child of tragedy (tragedy) with memories (memories)
Fire that won't fade away
It was destiny (destiny) whispering (whispering)
When people hear of his name
They call him

The chosen one, the loaded gun
The one to bear the weight
Through trial and pain, his path was paved
A prisoner of fate
He's just a man trying to stand
Under the weight of the world
Nobody knows the burden he holds
There's nowhere to run
For the chosen one
