Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sweet destiny
Carried me through desperation
To the one that was waiting for me
It took so long
Still I believed
Somehow the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
Prayed through the nights
Felt so alone
Suffered through alienation
Carried the weight on my own
Had to be strong
So I believed
And now I know I've succeeded
In finding the place I conceived
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given me
I've realized a dream
And I visualized
The love that came to be
Feel so alive
I'm so thankful that I've received
The answer that heaven has sent down to me
You treated me kind
Sweet destiny
And I'll be eternally grateful
Holding you so close to me
Prayed through the nights
So faithfully
Knowing the one that I needed
Would find me eventually
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you've given to me
I had a vision of love
And it was all that you turned out to be

+meegikwang That is just plain wrong. Mariah sang this in the same key for several performances (the last performance in the studio key was her Thanksgiving Concert, and her Daydream performances that were not in the studio key were some of her best in her entire career, the key is irrelevant). She has added three different varieties of intro whistles only heard live for the VoL performances of 1990 GMA, 1999 Homecoming Special, and 2005 BET Blueprint. She even recreated the 1999 intro whistle in 2015 and 2016. In 2006 Pepsi Smash, she did phrased whistles for "sweet" and "Yes you did!" She doesn't phrase anything in the whistle register in this studio version, only live. The Pepsi Smash performance has literally 3 different whistles in it. In her Charmbracelet tour she did end whistles in basically every performance of the tour after the sustained belt. In many 1990 performances, she does a 10-note legato arpeggio in under 3 seconds on the final climatic "love". She extended the 3:01 "all" cyclic runs in her 1990 GMA and 1990 Tattoo Club performance where she did it much longer, showing even more stamina than she does in the studio version. In one of the two Arsenio Hall performances she ends the cyclic runs with an even faster inflection with this sequence (B4-B4-C5-B4-G#4-F#4-E4-F#4-F#4-E4-C#4) and then descends the run down to E3 that is perfectly timed and done in under 5 seconds, no amateur singer like Regine Velasquez could do that. And these are all from undubbed, 100% live performances, so you'd be delusional to deny. Besides, she has a beautifully done acapella that you can hear nothing but her beautiful voice that you so want to delegitimize.
