Well I took the engine off this rocket   Always forcing myself to live in my pocket   I had dreams but they often went unspoken   Muttering hints as eager tokens    And at the idea of my chance    I was always denied the dance   And I let their doubts become the hurt    That buried my soul beneath the dirt      This manifest destiny   You know what it belongs to me   Just you wait, just you wait and see      I will laugh and I will smile   Freedom from the chains of your denial   Toward my voice you will start running   Hold tight for my second coming      I knew I was charmed    But how could they know   If I silenced my yes    So that they couldn’t say no      Living in my head    I feared the future   Always praying for fate    Wishing it would come sooner      But I kept numb and still for such a long time   Extinguishing the fire inside   Words like blades and twisting ropes   Drowning heads and smothering throats      This manifest destiny   You know what it belongs to me   Just you wait, just you wait and see      I will laugh and I will smile   Freedom from the chains of your denial   Toward my voice you will start running   Hold tight for my second coming      I realized you were wrong   Why’d I let your judgment dictate me all along   You can’t tell me what to do   You can’t tell me what to be anymore   Now that I’m ready for the battle    Will you still be my foe      But I have my ammunition   And I’ll see you when I    Complete this mission      And I even if I fail    My passion will prevail   I’ll be happy      And then I could die   Knowing that I tired   I’ll be happy      And that’s more than    You could every say   So please hold tight    For my second coming      Cuz this manifest destiny   It belongs to me   So hold tight for my    Second Coming
