  • When the odds were stacked against me
    I needed someone by my side
    And when the world left no place for me
    I needed someone by my side
    And when the skies crashed down upon me
    I looked for someone by my side
    You were there, when no one else was
    You showed me what's born doesn't always die

    You showed me what's born doesn't always die
    Divinity
    The divinity of purpose
    This is my divinity
    The divinity of purpose

    Found a way into my thoughts and voiced the true outrage
    Found me with feet to edge and helped me step away
    Found me with just a whisper left and turned it into screams
    And even on my weakest days you helped me find the strength

    When the odds were stacked against me
    I needed someone by my side
    And when the world left no place for me
    I needed someone by my side
    And when the skies crashed down upon me
    I looked for someone by my side
    You were there, when no one else was
    You showed me what's born doesn't always die

    Now I see divinity
    The divinity of purpose

    I heard the message above discord
    Channeling the hate within
    Felt the pain of discipline was less than that of regret
    Lifted one foot from the grave when the purpose showed its face
    And even on my weakest days you helped me find the strength

    When the odds were stacked against me
    I needed someone by my side
    And when the world left no place for me
    I needed someone by my side
    And when the skies crashed down upon me
    I looked for someone by my side
    You were there, when no one else was
    You showed me what's born doesn't always die

    Divinity
    The divinity of purpose
    This is my divinity
