In the Hands of Fate

To say it's over
Before it had begun...

To call retreat
Before the battle's won...

Is this my nature...
To cut my loss...
And quickly run away ?

Or should I wait here
And take my lumps...
Come what may

Is it true
That only I...
My future make ?

And if it is...
Do I then not..
Bind the hands of fate ?

Should I have
That much control ?

No...
I think this is..
beyond me

And yet...
I'll stay...
And wait awhile

One can never be too certain
When it's chance...
We choose to take

Do you also wonder whether our fate is ordained or can we change it ?
But you have put it so well, what can I say but Bl**dy marvelous.
