Era
Spirit and Destiny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Here we stand
Face to face
Eye to eye
My path I embrace
I'm not afraid
Of what they say
Gaining new ground
I will not be swayed
This begins a new era of me
My torch is lit for all to see
They didn't think that I'd make it this far
I have always shot for the stars
Calling all to arms
It's our time now
You see I won't be stopped anymore
Calling all to arms
Your dreams are in your hands
They cry out and will not be ignored
All my dreams
Have lead me here
I won't stop now
It's all so clear
In our lives
We have that chance
Wake the dreamer
Remove your mask
This begins a new era of me
My torch is lit for all to see
They didn't think that I'd make it this far
I have always shot for the stars
Calling all to arms
It's our time now
You see we won't be stopped anymore
Calling all to arms
Your dreams are in your hands
They cry out and will not be ignored
This begins a new era of me
My torch is lit for all to see
They didn't think that I'd make it this far
I have always shot for the stars
Calling all to arms
It's our time now
You see we won't be stopped anymore
Calling all to arms
Your dreams are in your hands
They cry out and will not be ignored
Calling all to arms
It's our time now
You see we won't be stopped anymore
Calling all to arms




Your dreams are in your hands
They cry out and will not be ignored

Yes, you put it very well: "American entitlement."

The United States would not rest.
Till we'd reached the end of our quest.
It had burned like a fire, more lands to acquire.
Was it our destiny, manifest????

Mexico's strength was then tested.
Many lands from her clutches were wrested.
Was it fair to provoke
Such a war, as did Polk?
Was it our destiny, manifested??????

Straight up insane mindset

@vernonharley

In other words. They used God as an excuse to steal land

@williamplants67

That is pretty much the entire story of the human race.

@cmbaz1140

From who?
The "natives" didnt have the concept of land ownership...
Stealing is the act of taking what belongs to someone else...
The "natives" themselves said that nobody owns the land...
obviously after they abandoned their sacred view of the world once they learned the "evil ways" of the "white man" they immediately tried to retroactively claim it...i guess green is the only color that matters...

Dear God..& “he gave his only son to die for our sins!!!”😢

@mijuajua4820

If everyone would read the Bible as it was intended, they would see that most of the stuff that many of the wealthy people have attributed to do because of religion and religion is not God that’s a whole separate thing God in richest peoples lives is everything religion distort itmakes it their own

Old American mindsets were insane to sweep across a plain destroying everything in sight to build your home is so alien! Great video! Continue to shed light on history! when I was taught in school they made it seem like just a few Indians were scooted over, no harm done.

@iamweare8687

What do u think u live in lol

@howiemandel5787

@@iamweare8687oh my god this is the most braindead stupid take that people like u always regurgitate to defend the some of the worst atrocities & genocides in history, “you live in society therefore you cannot criticize it” is middle schooler level logic. I just know probably believe so much stupid & completely historically & factually unfounded white supremacist apologia like that the civil war was really just about “states rights” & not slavery & also that the founding fathers (who r@ped their female slaves & did demonically horrific shit like how George washington’s dentures were actually made with teeth ripped out of a slaves mouth) were all just “products of their time” who didn’t know any better & that you can’t really blame them because supposedly no one back the was any better or different, despite the fact that centuries before the American revolution there had already existed people during the time of Columbus who were strongly anti slavery & accurately viewed it as, unlike you clearly don’t, the indefensible & extremely evil inhumane crime against humanity that it is.
