[Verse 1]
No hand above will choose the road
No hidden wheel will bear the load
I set my promise, plain and true
And meet the work I have to do
[Pre-Chorus]
The law of nature holds its ground
Some walls are not for turning round
Still step by step, with open eyes
I keep the vow beneath the skies
[Chorus]
No fate will carry me through
I stand by what I swore to do
When every road is steep and long
I keep the right; I keep it strong
No fate will carry me through
My promise is the path I choose
[Verse 2]
The seed must answer to the rain
The patient hand must bear the strain
I cannot bargain with the day
But I can choose the truest way
[Pre-Chorus]
The law of nature holds its ground
Some walls are not for turning round
Still step by step, with open eyes
I keep the vow beneath the skies
[Chorus]
No fate will carry me through
I stand by what I swore to do
When every road is steep and long
I keep the right; I keep it strong
No fate will carry me through
My promise is the path I choose
[Bridge]
If I should falter, let me see
The word I gave still waits for me
Not ease, not luck, but steady hands
Can shape the life my duty asks
[Final Chorus]
No fate will carry me through
I stand by what I swore to do
Though nature sets the boundary
I meet it with integrity
No fate will carry me through
My promise is the path I choose
[Outro]
I keep the vow
I see it through
No hand above will choose the road
No hidden wheel will bear the load
I set my promise, plain and true
And meet the work I have to do
[Pre-Chorus]
The law of nature holds its ground
Some walls are not for turning round
Still step by step, with open eyes
I keep the vow beneath the skies
[Chorus]
No fate will carry me through
I stand by what I swore to do
When every road is steep and long
I keep the right; I keep it strong
No fate will carry me through
My promise is the path I choose
[Verse 2]
The seed must answer to the rain
The patient hand must bear the strain
I cannot bargain with the day
But I can choose the truest way
[Pre-Chorus]
The law of nature holds its ground
Some walls are not for turning round
Still step by step, with open eyes
I keep the vow beneath the skies
[Chorus]
No fate will carry me through
I stand by what I swore to do
When every road is steep and long
I keep the right; I keep it strong
No fate will carry me through
My promise is the path I choose
[Bridge]
If I should falter, let me see
The word I gave still waits for me
Not ease, not luck, but steady hands
Can shape the life my duty asks
[Final Chorus]
No fate will carry me through
I stand by what I swore to do
Though nature sets the boundary
I meet it with integrity
No fate will carry me through
My promise is the path I choose
[Outro]
I keep the vow
I see it through
Stijl van muziek
Classical orchestral song, solemn and resolute, measured 4/4 with a steady forward pulse; begin with intimate piano and low strings, build through legato violins and warm cello, add restrained timpani and brass for the chorus, then resolve to piano and sustained strings. Clear expressive lead vocal, polished natural concert-hall recording, dynamic but controlled.
