Analysis of Destiny Road
Up with the sun
To greet the new day
Anticipating events
That come my way
The hands on the clock
Insistently on the move
Like a train on the tracks
I’m in the groove
There’s a force driving me
Down Destiny Road
Bearing the weight of life
And it’s a heavy load
Some days
There’s a traffic jam
I don’t let it bother me
If it’s all in God’s plan
I just keep on truckin’
Just like a trooper
Cause in the end it’s
A grand prize so super
Yesterday is gone
And I’m here today
Living my life
Smiling is the only way
I think about
The origins of those smiles
How they stay with me
Mile after mile
The road of life
Yes, it has pain and sorrow
But there’s also laughter
On the way to tomorrow
Guess you might say
To Heaven I’m ode
Just enjoying the ride
While on Destiny Road
