[Verse 1]
In this world, there's much confusion
And I've taste the city life and it's not for me
Now, I do dream of distant places
Where I don't know now, but it's destiny
[Pre-Chorus]
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
[Chorus]
I want destiny (Destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah-yeah
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me
Come on, let me feel free
[Verse 2]
Now, I'm a man that's for all seasons
And what the city offers me ain't naturally
I look to greet the stars but there's no stars to see
I'm gonna search this world until I find my destiny
[Pre-Chorus]
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
[Chorus]
I want destiny (Destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah-yeah-yeah
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me
Come on, let me feel free, let me be me
[Bridge]
I wanna get far from here
Or should I up and fly away so fancy free, yeah
Nobody can change my mind
The words of destiny are calling me wild time
[Chorus]
I want destiny (Destiny)
It's the place for me, yeah
[Outro]
Ah, destiny, you and me
So fancy free
Ah, destiny
Should we fly away
Ah, destiny, you and me
So fancy free
Ah, destiny (Woo!)
