2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

My Destiny by Michael Conforti

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sitting in the darkness of this lonely hotel room, regretting past decisions seems to keep my mind consumed. Another bottle opened, another day gone by, I look up to the Heavens thinkin why me Lord, why.

Chorus:
Is this my destiny, is this what my life’s meant to be, the broken hearts along the way, always sorry that next day. All the pain of wasted years, the countless fights and endless tears, wonderin how I got here, will this be my destiny.

Verse 2
Now it’s so many years later and I’m searchin for my savior and I’m hopin that he hears me, is this where I’m supposed to be. Not sure what my future holds and I cannot change the past, still struggling with the pain inside but praying I’ll find peace at last.

Chorus:
Is this my destiny, is this what my life’s meant to be, the broken hearts along the way, always sorry that next day. All the pain of wasted years, the countless fights and endless tears, wonderin how I got here, will this be my destiny.

Bridge:
As I look back now I’m thankful for the things I learned, I’ve come so far, still struggle but getting stronger every day.

Chorus:
Is this my destiny, is this what my life’s meant to be, the broken hearts along the way, always sorry that next day. All the pain of wasted years, the countless fights and endless tears, wonderin how I got here. Is this my destiny.
