Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was good and evil, we chose good
Why raise the time of the most high
His sons of men
[Verse 2]
The rich man's wealth is in the city. yeah
Destruction of the poor is his poverty, Lord
Destruction of your soul is vanity, yeah, ay, yeah
Do you hear?
I and I, I wanna rule my destiny, yeah
I and I, I wanna rule my destiny
[Verse 3]
Destiny, mama look from when you call me
Destiny, mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Yeah, yeah, oh help I, please
Jah Jah mek mi rule my destiny
[Verse 4]
I've been blessed I've been touch I love Jah so much
They keep fighting me I'm not giving up
May the realms of Zion fill my spiritual cup
Wisdom overstanding must never be too much
Give I protection Day and night
From even the pestilence that war get a daylight
[Verse 5]
Destiny, mama look from when you calling
Destiny, mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Yeah, yeah, oh help I, please
Jah Jah mek mi rule my destiny
[Verse 6]
Cast away their cords from us, Lord
You have them in the region in the valley of decision
Restraining the heathen with a rod of iron
You know not the destiny of a next man
Why hold him set him free for too long
I, I wanna rule my destiny
Oh yeah, I and I really wanna rule my destiny
Hear me call, call, call
[Verse 7]
Destiny, mama, look from when you calling
Destiny, mama, look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Oh yeah, help I, please
Really wanna rule my destiny
[Verse 8]
My destination is homeward bound
Though forces try to hold I down
Breaking chains has become the norm
I know I must get through no matter what a gwaan
[Verse 9]
Destiny, mama, look from when you calling
Destiny, mama, look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Lord, and I tell you once more
[Verse 10]
The rich man's wealth is in the city, oh
Destruction of the poor is our poverty, yeah
Destruction of your soul is vanity, woah
Do you hear, do you hear?
[Verse 11]
Destiny, Destiny
