Arty and Larry:
Sorry it took me so long to respond and thank you for your comments.
Arty, my intent with the lyrics was not to contextualize them too much. I kind of thought it might work as a movie theme about some famous explorer of the past, or as a song about a modern-day guy who lives down the street. Talking about a “drive” was placing it in time more specifically than I wanted it to be.
Larry, I already used “destiny” in the first verse, so using it again in the bridge didn’t seem right to me.
Thanks to both of you for the comments and suggestions.
P.S.: I changed “no going back” to “no turning back” in the bridge.
