* Produced by The Jacksons
* Composed by Michael Jackson, Tito Jackson,
Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson
and Jackie Jackson
Written by Michael with his brothers - Michael is on record saying the song was written about him.
It is the title track of the Jacksons' thirs album, issued in December 1978.
Released as a single in the UK (but not USA), where it achieved a lowly no.39.
It was promoted, during the group's European visit, on Top Of The Pops, and on the Jacksons' own Midnight Special in the US in 1979 (where Jermaine re-joined his brothers for this song). It was also featured on a Destiny Tour concert screened on BBC2 in the UK.
Destiny - Lyrics
In this world there's so much confusion
And I've tasted the city life and it's not for me
Now I do dream of distant places
Where I don't know now, but it's Destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
I want Destiny
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me, let me feel free, let me be me
I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me ain't naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there's no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny
If it's the rich life, I don't want it
Happiness ain't always material things
I want Destiny
It's the place for me
Give me the simple life
I'm getting away from here
Let me be me, let me feel free, let me be me
I'm a man that's for all seasons
What the city offers me ain't naturally
I look to greet the stars
But there's no stars to see
Gonna search this world until I find my Destiny
I wanna be far from here
Should I up and fly away so fancy free
Nobody can change my mind
I'm screamming out these words for me
While time
Destiny, ah destiny, it's calling me
Destiny, a place for me
Ah, destiny
I want destiny
It's the place for me.......
