Track bySheryl Lee Ralph
I was raised by wolves I was born to lead And I starve 'til there's no more mouths to feed There's a hand on my throat And a blade at my feet But the weight of the world won't bend my knees Broken bones, battle scars I have seen the bloodshed Carved in stone, when it's my sword They won't forget No war, no peace 'til I lead them all Leave me with my demons Hear my voice call No fears or sorrows underneath these bones Just blood, sweat, and tears Is all I know I can use who I want And I taste what I please In this world I get all my fantasies There's a hand on my throat And a child at my feet But the weight of the world Won't bend my knees No war, no peace 'til I lead them all Leave me with my demons Hear my voice call No fears or sorrows underneath these bones Just blood, sweat, and tears Is all I know Don't wash away my blood Don't wash away my sweat It's all I know Don't wash away my tears Don't wash my spirit, don't cleanse my soul Can't break my courage, and I won't fall 'Cause that's all I know No war, no peace 'til I lead them all Leave me with my demons Hear my voice call No fears or sorrows underneath these bones Just blood, sweat, and tears Is all I know
