In Your Own Way

the mystic said inside each one
is a voice that fights to be free
and no matter how you try to run
what is meant is what will be

despite my efforts to try and stray
and ignore what was my path
what I said to the mystic that day
only caused him to laugh

fate he said no man can change
the road is set in stone
you alone cannot rearrange
that what you must become

so life it seems is not by chance
or a choice we make each day
each of us has a predetermined dance
when the music starts to play
