The rich man's wealth is in the city
Destruction of the poor is his poverty
Destruction of your soul is vanity

The keep fighting me I'm not giving up
May the realms of Zion fill my spriritual cup
Wisdom overstanding can never be too much
Chorus
Cast away their cords from us
You have thim 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 too long
Verse 3
My destination is homeward bound
Through the force try to hold I down
Breaking chains has become the norm
I know I must get through no matter what a gwaan
