Javier Colon - Meant to be

When I was a kid
There were movies I'd make in my mind
Visions so realistic
I'd get all worked up til I'd cry
Who would I be and what would I be like
Me as the singer with my pretty wife
I could sing with a hero
I'd lay down my life
Just to have their wanted soul so bad

I believe what's meant to be
Is meant to be
And that's just how it goes
I've been searching for what I need
I believe when I find it I'll know

I was 18, my very first month
Away from home
Then I caught your attention
When you heard me sing that first note
Now I would be lying if I didn't say
That I saw you coming a mile away
I fell in love with you that very day
Just to have that I wanted so bad

I believe what's meant to be
Is meant to be
And that's just how it goes
I've been searching for what I need
I believe when I find it I'll know

Now I can't say I'm happy
With all of the choices I've made
I've been chewed up and spit out
Seen sorrow I'll take to my grave
There were some months when
The rent came up short
And some of my family's not here anymore
