Up Destiny’s Sleeve

Seen vicious things, I've seen good
I tour the ruins of my childhood
Hearing the voices, lost in a smell
You know, sometime's I'm not feeling well

'Cause I think I'm starting to see
What destiny's got in store for me
And who knows really, how it's gonna be
When it hit's the fan!
Gonna do all I can
Gonna do all I can

Been angel and devil, martyr too
I know the last one's upsetting you
So I separate, remain aloof sometimes
In my crusades against phoney games

And I too, kind of like the idea
Of having someone praying for me
And even when I feel disagreements
Between things I know
I know she believes
Oh, she still believes

One woman and her God
Come ridin' through his picture
Can do almost anything
Force my eyes open to realities
Enrich someone else
Maybe even save herself

But now I think I can vaguely see
What life has got up it's sleeve for me
And if that means it's the will of God I see
I'll be floating for real
Either grateful or sad
Ferociously glad
Might be fiercefully mad...
