Our Destiny Is In Our Own Hands

Our destiny is in our own hands some have been known to say But circumstance in all of that must have some part to play If you are born on no hope street and homeless in your youth To you our destiny is in our own hands does not have a ring of truth. Our destiny is in our own hands to some may well apply It may apply to you and he and her as well as I But not of course to everyone each day thousands of hunger die Our destiny is in our own hands to the millions is a lie. The innocents who die in war and acts of terrorism did not create their destiny They would not wish it on themselves for to die so tragically Their destiny was in others hands which often is the case They just happened at the wrong time for to be in the wrong place. That our destiny is in our own hands apply to some maybe But ninety nine per cent of street kids will die in poverty Due to their circumstances of birth they are condemned to fail And some of them die of drug overdoses and some of them die in jail.
