Mama, I was just a kid
I would always take the blame, for things I never did
Later on, and the world was in my hands
When I threw it all away, I knew that you'd understand
Someday I will see
When final waves wash over me
That there is only One who can command me
I know myself, and I know where I belong
I don't believe in looking back, for that's all dead and gone
For now, in the present I reside
I free my soul of everything, I have nothing to hide
Someday, I will see
When the final waves crash over me
That I am just a teardrop in the ocean
My destiny...dictates to me
I know, it's not up to me, whatever will be, will be
Our destiny...
Fate, it seems, has a compass all its own
And I don't need to know the path,
I don't want to be shown
It's not my place, and it was never meant to be
The secrets of the universe, not yet for me to see...
Someday, when I go
Oh, oh, it's good to know
That I am just a rock upon the mountain
My destiny...dictates to me
You know, it's not up to me, whatever will be, will be
Our destiny
(This is our destiny, written for you and me
This is our destiny, that's how it's meant to be)
Presently, all things will be revealed, so then I'll know
There is a time to stand, and one to kneel
Courage, is the power given me
The strength to rise up from the floor, and be what I wanna be...
So Mama, when I go
Oh, oh, it's good to know
That I was just a wheel in something turning...
I would always take the blame, for things I never did
Later on, and the world was in my hands
When I threw it all away, I knew that you'd understand
Someday I will see
When final waves wash over me
That there is only One who can command me
I know myself, and I know where I belong
I don't believe in looking back, for that's all dead and gone
For now, in the present I reside
I free my soul of everything, I have nothing to hide
Someday, I will see
When the final waves crash over me
That I am just a teardrop in the ocean
