Slave Song

歌詞

I see them gathered see them on the shore I turned to look once more and he who knows me not takes me to the belly of darkness the tears run swift and hard and when they fall even the comfort of a stone would be a gain there was a time when I thought I would have to give up but I'm thankful that I'm strong as I am and I'll try to do the best I can tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain I pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain I pray to the almighty let me not to him do as he has unto me teach my beloved children who have been enslaved to reach for the light continually so many times I prayed so many times I've prayed for you prayed for you the tears run swift and hard and cold as pain even the comfort of a stone would be a gain had I not the strength and wisdom of a warrior I would have to give up but I'm thankful that I'm strong as I am and I'll try to do the best I can tears will run swift and tears will come that fall like rain I pray that it's swift though tears will fall as cold as pain I pray to the almighty let us not do as he has unto us teach my beloved children I've been a slave but reach for the light continually wisdom is the flame wisdom is the brave warrior who will carry us into the sun I pray that it's swift though tears will come that fall like rain so many times so many times
