Just as the river seeks the sea
I try to reach my destiny
That was meant for me a long time ago

No matter what is the season
If you got a plan and a reason
Nothing can keep you from your goal

I answer to a higher power from above
That once taught about forgiveness and love
Although I seem like a goner
In defense of my honor
I know just where this road will take me

I've been wandering everywhere
Have seen more than a man can bear
And that is the price I gotta pay

So while the dice are still rolling
And my blood still flowing
I will hold firm in my own way

I answer to a higher power from above
That once taught about forgiveness and love
Although I seem like a goner
In defense of my honor
I know just where this road will take me
