My world, it moves so fast today
The past, it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tightly that I can't breathe
And every time I've tried to be
What someone else thought of me
So caught up I wasn't able to achieve
But deep in my heart
The answer, it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny

I look at my environment
And wonder where the fire went
What happened to everything we used to be?
I hear so many cry for help
Searching outside of themselves
Now I know that His strength is within me

And deep in my heart
The answer, it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
And deep in my heart
The answer it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
