Destiny Lyrics

Crying in the morning...trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined to fall

CHORUS:
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain...unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding...
What it was I was supposed to say...
To say to you today

It wasn't like the others...it was nothing at all
It wasn't like anything...it was easy to fall
Love don't mean what it says at all
My destiny says that I'm destined for it all

CHORUS:
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain...unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding...
What it was that I was supposed to say...
To say to you today
(SOLO)

Crying...

Still crying in the morning...trying to be strong
Waiting for the spring to turn into the fall
Love never meant what it said at all
My destiny proved I was destined to fall

CHORUS:
My destiny is riding again
Rolling in the rain...unwinding in the wind
My destiny is fighting again
Secretly unwinding...
What it was that I was supposed to say...
To say to you today

I am crying...I am trying...to be strong...
Heartbroken...unspoken...
You were nothing like the others
You were nothing like the others
All gone...nothing left at all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have read that Stevie wrote this song about the time when she and Lindsley (still as a duo then) failed in music industry again. Don't remember if it was the failure of their album Buckingham/Nicks or some concert that was promoting this album but this whole situation crashed and they were pissed and disappointed, especially Stevie. That's what Stevie said about this song and she said that story during her Street Angel Tour at one of the concerts.
