As I walk through the water, so many things I see, uh-huh

And then I say to myself

It's never right to seems

'Cause I am the one, I rule my world

Nobody rule my destiny

'Cause you are the one, you rule your world

No bad man own your destiny

Leave me alone, let me live my life

Leave me alone, let me live it up, live it up

Leave me alone, make I live my life

Leave me alone, make I live it up, live it up

Leave me alone, let me

...

Are we losin' control, or is it meant to be? Uh-huh

Now I've opened my mind

Come and set me free

'Cause I am the one, I rule my world

Nobody rules my destiny

'Cause you are the one, you rule your world

No bad man own your destiny

Leave me alone, let me live my life

Leave me alone, let me live it up, live it up

Leave me alone, make I live my life

Leave me alone, make I live it up, live it up

Leave me alone, let me live my life

Leave me alone, let me live it up, live it up

Leave me alone, make I live my life

Leave me alone, make I live it up, live it up

Leave me alone, let me
