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
