Bon Jour All

Here are the lyrics for Malaika's Destiny. I was honoured to see them perfom at the South African Musica Awards (SAMA). I also sang this song at a Kareoke night. South Africa has produced some fine musical artists lately! I believe South Africa is alive with possibility and we are privileged to live on this beautiful continent and we, as children of Africa need to unite and show the world how true democracy works!

Destiny

I cherish the date by another day
When heaven sent you my way
There's something I've always been searching for
And you give me so much more
See I've never felt anything like this
It's something I don't ever want to miss
You've brought me so much into my world
Believe me I mean every word

Chorus

You were,
and you are
and you will be
My soul and the air that I breathe
My heart and the love that I need
And you are my destiny

You were
and you are
and you will be
My soul and the air that I breathe
My heart and the love that I need
And you are my destiny

Now what in the world was I thinking of
To say we can never be more than friends
Knowing for you all I feel is love I try to keep up the pretense
I'm so glad that I took a chance on us
Cos I've learn the love is of us
You have brought me so much into my world
Believe me I mean every word

Chorus

You were,
and you are
and you will be
My soul and the air that I breathe
My heart and the love that I need
And you are my destiny

You were
and you are
and you will be
My soul and the air that I breathe
My heart and the love that I need
And you are my destiny


I can feel it I can feel the magic
Tell me if you can imagine
Don't you dare resist the power
Love will take you higher baby
