Destiny Decides
Matt Starking 1987 (Africa)
destiny decides
don't be deceived
but destiny decides
you nailed me in the head
you short me in the heart
ignoring all the fact
let the clouds get fold
keep secrete the truth
but the story is will forever be told
that the glory of a man
is purer than gold
the old may refuse to reason
but a tree bearing fort fruit
means it is in it season
destiny decides
don't be deceived
but destiny decides
