Lyrics
0:16I see them gathered see them on the shore
0:22I turned to look once more
0:24And he who knows me not
0:26Takes me to the belly of darkness
0:32The tears run swift and hard
0:36And when they fall
0:41Even even the comfort of a stone
0:44Would be a gain
0:49There was a time when I thought
0:53I would have to give up
0:57But I'm thankful that I'm
0:59Strong as I am and I'll
1:01Try to do the best I can
1:05Tears will run swift
1:06And tears will come that fall like rain
1:13I pray that it's swift though
1:15Tears will fall as cold as pain
1:21I pray to the almighty
1:24Let me not to him do
1:26As he has unto me
1:29Teach my beloved children
1:31Who have been enslaved
1:33To reach for the light continually
1:39So many times I prayed
1:43So many times I've prayed for you
1:50Prayed for you
1:54The tears run swift and hard and cold as pain
2:02Even even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
2:10Had I not had the strength and wisdom of a warrior
2:14I would have to give up
2:18But I'm thankful that I'm
2:20Strong as I am and I'll
2:22Try to do the best I can
2:26Tears will run swift
2:29And tears will come that fall like rain
2:34I pray that it's swift though
2:36Tears will fall as cold as pain
2:43I pray to the almighty
2:45Let us not do as he has unto us
2:51Teach my beloved children I've been a slave
2:55But reach for the light continually
2:59Wisdom is the flame
3:02Wisdom is the brave warrior
3:04Who will carry us into the sun
3:07I pray that it's swift though
3:09Tears will come that fall like rain
3:24So many times so many times
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
