Fate

So recently I have asked many questions about certain subjects but find that the answers given to me are contrasting with each other. One answer seems like the obvious truth but the other is being delivered in what could be signs...I don't know what to believe. Is the answer in your face or in the signs???? Anyway I went to a regular film night with some friends in which a certain persons gets the pleasure of choosing a film for us to watch each week, this week's choice was Serendipity starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale, one of the characters is very superstitious. The film made me think, and I walked away believing that signs (not as obvious as in the film) are messages sent from heaven to steer us in the right direction. So that's what this song is about, do we create our own path or is it already written and down to fate?? If you have your own opinion please share it just may help in my decision making...all help is appreciated!!

Verse 1
Stars and cards and mystic glass
and all that stuff in between,
like leaves and dreams, tell me what do you see
do you see a place for you and me?

Bridge
Is the answer already made or is it one we create?
Is in down to me or is it up to fate?

Chorus
Do I find it far from home
Is it out of my control
Is it in the break of the day
Or found in the evening shade?

Verse 2
A name, a place, a gesture made
Tells me I belong to you
Do I brace for the chase, do I give up to fate
Is one but holding the truth

Bridge
Do both paths go separate ways
Or do they reach the same place
Is it irony
Or is it fate?

Chorus
Do I find it far from home
Is it out of my control
Is it in the break of the day
Or found in the evening shade?

Tag
Is it up to me to create
Or is it down to the hands of fate?
