Slave Song |
| 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, 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, even the comfort of a stone would be a gain |
| Had I not had 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 |
