about

Destiny Best has teamed up with award winning producer Jon Matthews to record her debut single ‘I Choose to Live’. Inspired by her own experience having suicidal thoughts, and her passion for social activism, Destiny has created an anthem for everyone to hear. Part of the proceeds will go to supporting the needs of Crisis Services Canada which operates the Canadian National Suicide Prevention Helpline 1.833.456.4566. Destiny has magically infused beauty into a poignant but hopeful song.

lyrics

So dark in this tower of mine
One day I’ll finally see the light shine
Wonder what it will feel like
Nothing but cold and pain and fear
My heart is frozen beyond repair
I see no way out of here

I wanna be the light
I wanna let them see me shine
I wanna circle the world
I wanna feel the earth under my feet
I wanna be alive
I wanna live my life
I choose to live

Sometimes the light shines in
and wakes me up inside
It doesn’t last that long
But I swear I will survive
I’m so tired of this place
Days tick by then weeks then years
I’m much stronger than I feared
I’ll find a way out of here

I wanna be the light
I wanna let them see me shine
I wanna circle the world
I wanna feel the earth under my feet
I wanna be alive
I wanna live my life
I choose to live

I know they’ll miss me when I’m gone
And the sadness suffocates
Today I cleaned my room and then
Then I gave the stuff away

Connecting to old friends and family
Talking about how things used to be
Wish I could turn back time
I breathed new life inside of me
Tower shattered, demons gone
Feel the breeze across my face

I wanna be the light
I wanna let them see me shine
I wanna circle the world
I wanna feel the earth under my feet
I wanna be alive
I wanna live my life
I choose to live/I wanna be the light
I wanna let them see me shine
I wanna circle the world
I wanna feel the earth under my feet
I wanna be alive
I wanna live my life
I choose to live
I choose to live
I choose to live
I choose to live
