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
