DESTINY BEGINS YESTERDAY
(Words & Music by Rivera/McAndrew/Chappel/Kosacek)

the wall of regret keeps our feelings at bay
too tall to be conquered by words so they say
but destiny begins while time passes away
and we all learn to live by the choices we made

our faults of the past are they written in stone?
can what we do now change the course of it all?
do waves of intention go rippling back-in-time?
will we all learn to live, while our fate realigns?

the bricks keep ever building to contain creations fountain
and nothing stands above it as we scale the highest mountain
the scribes they read their words and with even voices say
certainty assured as destiny begins...

the bricks keep ever building to contain creations fountain
and nothing stands above it as we scale the highest mountain

certainty assured as destiny begins

it matters not, what they may say
the birth is past, the delivery
so come october, come what may
that we may see...destiny's conception yesterday

just when you thought that he pace was slow
the dynamo started, creation did flow
she showed her face and she dealt us her hand
there's some things we don't, we just don’t understand
but upwards and onwards and ever on
sounds to behold, like the coming of dawn
in this era of turmoil and such disarray
our destiny’s inception that began yesterday!

then all at once the brasses sound
to announce their arrival, to breaking new ground
all aboard the inter-stellar train to worlds of wonder and back again
united in thoughts, united in sound, in this land of circles it all goes around
from this path we are on we will not stray
part of destiny's inception of yesterday!

oooh oooh

Comment:- We have a great deal of influence over our destiny, but the clock has started ticking on it's journey, tick, tock, tick, tock.....
