distrokid.com/hyperfollow/rikibuckingham/follow-my-destiny-flying-high

With influences from soul and even to my suprise a gospel/americana/country feel at times. The verses were inspired by the Spiritual Jazz song "The Creator Has a Masterplan"

The destiny path I feel is something we have to work at but with each little step, day by day if we truly listen to our hearts I know we will be guided there and at the end of the day "All Rivers meet the sea meander where they are meant to be" even if sometimes we feel a little lost this song is to remind us that there is a reason behind it all even if we can't always see it!

lyrics

<VERSE>
Well the clouds are moving fast
And the days are flowing on
Unlike the days of old
I know where my heart belongs
Feel The Light is shining brighter
Than it ever was before
Grey days will soon be gone

No dark night they say can last forever
So Keep your heart aligned
with crystal clarity
Go and plot the course with true intentions
And all of your answers will come naturally

<BRIDGE>
And through storms
There was always a light to guide us back home
And for all the souls that gave me the faith to fly
keep my spirits high
I'm thankful to my soul

<CHORUS>
I've crossed the rivers
I've crossed the sea
Ain't no place I wouldn't go
To follow my destiny
Climb up those mountains
And ill never give up on those dreams, no no

I'll keep on strong
Follow that bright light
Never give in to the doubts
And worries in the mind
I got to tell ya
Tomorrow's a brand new day
Yes it is now

Wooah wooah wooah woah woah
Wooah wooah wooah woah woah
Wooah wooah wooah woah woah

<VERSE 2>
Well we can't always see
The reasons and the why's
Why Life's great journey
Sometimes takes us by surprise
But The lessons to be learned
Things turn out for the best
So the spirit can fly free

Yeah in all our struggles lies a seed
Of hope and of strength
That may one day inspire
And lift one another higher
What seemed to be a curse
Became a blessing in disguise
Transformed and alchemised

<BRIDGE>
And through storms
There was always a light to guide us home
Maybe the angels were by my side
Helping me sail through those stormy seas

<CHORUS> 🔥
I've crossed the rivers
I've crossed the sea
Been a lot of places
To follow my destiny
Climbed up those ⛰ mountains
Never give up on those dreams

I'll keep on strong
Follow that bright light
Never give in to the doubts
And the worries in my mind
I got to tell ya
Tomorrow's a brand new day
I've got the faith now things will turn out right

I want you to remember
There will always be a light to guide the way
I want you to remember
There will always be a light to guide us home

Show me the way
I'm willing to learn

<BUILD>
I said the river of life is calling me
I'm gonna drop my heavy load
And walk through the door

Cos this life's so beautiful
And through it all
We rose, we rose, we rose again

Kept the fire of life alight
Even in the dark of night
I kept my faith alive

Said I made a deal with life
I've got to live it full
Commit to the highest path
I won't be accepting less
Within the light of the soul
Is the gifts that will carry us home
I'm making that leap
Im making that jump right now

<DOUBLE time>
Heading up the mountaintops to see what I can find
Feel the inspiration rising
Feel the inspiration rising the higher I climb

Going out into the world
Gonna show my face again
No holding back
Said The time to live is now
Get back on track

I've got dreams to remember
I've got dreams to remember
I've got dreams to remember
River of life is calling me

<CHORUS quiet>
I've crossed the rivers
I've crossed the sea
Been a lot of places
To follow my destiny
But nothing compares to the feeling of flying high on the wings of my Destiny

I said my soul's alive
Like never before!

And when it comes the time
To return to the place I came from
I know that you'll be there be waiting
With arms open wide to greet us again
In my head in my home

<OUTRO>
I want you to remember
There will always be a light to guide us home
I want you to remember
All Rivers meet the sea
Meander where they are meant to be
I want you to remember
All rivers meet the sea eventually
On path to meet your destiny
