There was good & evil. we chose good

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

Though forces try to hold I down
Breaking chains has become the norm
I know I must get through no matter what a gwaan
(Chorus)
Destiny, mama look from when you calling
Destiny, mama look from when you calling
I wanna rule my destiny
Lord, & I tell you once more
(Verse 4)
The rich man's wealth is in the city. oh
Destruction of the poor is our poverty. yeah
Destruction of your soul is vanity. wooooy
Do you hear, Do you hear
Destiny, Destiny
