Destiny

There was good and evil, we chose good
Why waste the time of the most high
You sons of men

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 wanna rule my destiny, yeah
I wanna rule my destiny

Destiny, mama, look from when you called me
Destiny, mama, look from when you called
I wanna rule my destiny
Yeah, yeah, oh please help me
God help me rule my destiny

I've been blessed, I've been touched
I love God so much
They keep fighting me, I'm not giving up
May the realms of Zion fill my spiritual cup
Understanding and wisdom should never be too much
Give me protection day and night
From even the pestilence that battles in daylight

Destiny, mama, look from when you called
Destiny, mama, look from when you called
I wanna rule my destiny
Yeah, yeah, oh please help me
God help me rule my destiny

Cast away their cords from us, Lord
You have them in derision in the valley of decision
Holding back the heathens with a rod of iron
You don’t know the destiny of the next man
Why hold him? Set him free, it’s been too long
I, I wanna rule my destiny
Oh yeah, I really wanna rule my destiny
Hear me call, call, call

Destiny, mama, look from when you called me
Destiny, mama, look from when you called
I wanna rule my destiny
Oh yeah, please help me
Really wanna rule my destiny

My destination is homeward bound
Though forces try to hold me down
Breaking chains has become the norm
I know I must get through no matter what goes on

Destiny, mama, look from when you called
Destiny, mama, look from when you called
I wanna rule my destiny
Lord, and I tell you once more

The rich man's wealth is in the city, oh
Destruction of the poor is our poverty, yeah
Destruction of your soul is vanity, whoa
Do you hear? Do you hear?

Destiny, destiny
