[Intro]
My fate is coming closer, will I find the one that waits?
To hold the woman and the warrior lives in me today
If loving arms embrace my soul til' I fulfil the role
That I was always meant to play? Celestials lead my way

[Verse 1]
Faith, hope and courage, my companions in the night
And future songs to celebrate the reasons I must fight
Courage in my veins, wisdom in the scars
Meaning is my mission
Written in the stars

[Verse 2]
If I cannot walk, the last mile I will fly
My wings were gift of angels
Home is in the sky
The language of the gods cannot be taught
The messages are born of light
The war of wars that must be fought

[Chorus]
If it’s to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it's to be, it’s up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber

[Pre-Chorus]
Somewhere there's a marching heart I am never known that I'm not alone
Written in my father's dreams, my true love awaits and I’m on my way

[Chorus]
If it’s to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it’s to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it’s to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber

[Verse 3]
Do the gods seek greater gods?
Then hear them when they pray
I hope that they will remember, remember me today
Lead me angels to the missing heart that lives to hold
The woman and the warrior for the light that lives inside my soul

[Bridge]
If it's to be, it's up to me
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
Si debe ser, es mi deber

[Chorus]
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber
If it's to be, it's up to me
Si debe ser, es mi deber

[Outro]
Si debe ser, es mi deber
Si debe ser, es mi deber

Karly-Marina Loaiza (born July 17, 1994), better known as her stage name Kali Uchis, is a Colombian-American singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director, and fashion designer.

Sporting a 50’s aesthetic (from which Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald are cited influences), Kali’s brand of art pop spans the length of many genres of soul (doo-wop, reggae, funk, quiet storm, psychedelia) with a Latina twist.

Kali grew up playing saxophone and piano; she was introduced to music production and video editing while she was in high school and released her debut project Drunken Babble in 2012. Since then, Kali has gone on to release a 2015 EP, Por Vida, and her debut album, Isolation, in 2018.
