Manifest Destiny Lyrics

I don't have a reason to go back home
So what am I supposed to do?
I only know one place where I have to be
And it's gotta be with you
I'm on my way now
I'm on my way now
So you gotta help me out
You gotta make it out for me

How could we survive?
Yeah don't think about the kids
Just let your spirit rise
Yeah don't worry about the rest

There is a fire that burns on my tongue
So what can I ever do?
What can I ever do?
I see the calm that you feel in your love
And I wanna feel it too
I wanna feel it too
I will find you and roll out the fire
So you gotta help me out
You gotta help me out
You gotta make it out for me
You gotta make it out for me

How could we survive?
Yeah don't think about the kids
Just let your spirit rise
Yeah don't worry about the rest

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.

"You gotta make it happen for me". "Just let your spirit rise". "I will follow you, I will follow you".
