I RESIGNED MY DESTINY

[ Title I resigned my destiny

By OA]

(Verse 1)

Red car waiting, heart full of groceries,

Every bag a blessing, every fruit a memory.

Walking through the mall of my old selves,

Tasted what I used to crave —

Didn’t taste the same anymore.

Blue drink on my tongue, sweet like awakening,

Whipped cream sky — I’m learning what I’m made for.

(Pre-Chorus)

And I hear the crowd behind the doors of the club,

All those echoes of who I was —

But I’m not staying long enough to lose my way.

There’s a toll ahead,

And my name’s on the paper now —

Written in starlight, sealed by grace.

(Chorus)

You said, “You passed the test,” and handed me worlds —

Money that wasn’t money, just proof of worth untold.

I’m rich in compassion, overflowing with gold,

I signed the route of my rebirth —

Yeah, I signed in light, I signed in love,

I signed my name to the heavens above.

(Verse 2)

White shirt on the ground, reflection of my past,

I stood over him whispering, “Please don’t do that.”

Not to him — but to myself,

The part that wanted to fight instead of feel.

And the gun turned into grace,

The danger turned to faith.

They said, “We just had to know

If your heart could still break for someone else.”

(Bridge)

Two red cars, two timelines, two ways home —

One for who I was, one for who I’ve grown.

The road blocked ahead, but heaven made a detour,

I signed my name and I drove through the door.

(Outro)

Now my trunk’s still full —

Of lessons, of light, of all I adore.

And I whisper to the stars,

“Thank you for testing me once more.”

Because now I see —

Every trial was love in disguise,

And every signature I wrote…

Was me remembering who I am.
