The calls in the night
The blood, sweat and tears
The waiting and longing
The hopes and the fears.

You stand at the edge
You meet your own fate
Your choices are vital
Step forward or wait.

The days turn to years
The long sleepless nights
The searching for something
The mind how it fights.

Life moving you forward
Afraid to take part
Of emotional rejection
That stems from the heart.

Search for the voice
Digging down deep
The still, quiet place
The soul's endless weep.

Through acceptance and love
You see through the veil
Destiny will come
In spite of your wail.

It is what it is
What will be, will be
One thing you can't fight
Is your own destiny.
