Is a song about changing your future, or as he would say, alter destiny. The world as we know it is someone else’s idea, built upon arbitrary sources. and those are not the same patterns you are required to build your own future around
[Verse 1]
Somebody else's idea of somebody else's world
Is not my idea of things as they are
Somebody else's idea of things to come
Need not be the only way
To vision the future
[Verse 2]
What seems to be, need not be
What need, had to be
For what was is only because of
An adopted source of things
Some chosen source as was
Need not be the only pattern
To build a world on
[Verse 1]
Somebody else's idea of somebody else's world
Is not my idea of things as they are
Somebody else's idea of things to come
Need not be the only way
To vision the future
[Verse 2]
What seems to be, need not be
What need, had to be
For what was is only because of
An adopted source of things
Some chosen source as was
Need not be the only pattern
To build a world on
