Here are the lyrics to Destiny:

I cherish the place I am on the day
When heaven sent you my way
There's something I've always been searching for
And you give me so much more
See I've never felt anything like this
It's something I don't ever want to miss
You've brought me so much into my world
Believe me, I mean every word

You were
And you are
And you will be
My soul and the air that I breathe
My heart and the love that I need
And you are my destiny

Now what in the world was I thinking of
To say we can never be more than friends
Knowing for you, all I feel is love
I try to keep up the pretense
I'm so glad that I took a chance on us
Cos I've learned that love is about trust
You have brought me so much into my world
Believe me, I mean every word

Repeat Chorus

I can feel it I can feel the magic
Tell me if you can imagine
Don't you dare resist the power
Love will take you higher baby
