Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My world, it moves so fast today
The past it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tight that I can't breathe
[Verse 2]
And every time I've tried to be
What someone else thought of me
So caught up, I wasn't able to achieve
[Chorus]
But deep in my heart
The answer, it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
[Verse 3]
I, I, I look at my environment
And wonder where the fire went
What happened to everything we used to be?
[Verse 4]
I hear so many cry for help
Searching outside of themselves
Now I know that His strength is within me
[Chorus]
And deep in my heart
The answer, it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
[Chorus]
And deep in my heart
[Chorus]
And deep in my heart
The answer, it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
