0:33I see them gathered see them on the shore
0:39I turned to look once more
0:42And he who knows me not
0:43Takes me to the belly of darkness
0:49The tears run swift and hard
0:53And when they fall
0:57Even even the comfort of a stone
1:01Would be a gain
1:05There was a time when I thought
1:09I would have to give up
1:13But I′m thankful that I′m
1:16Strong as I am and I′ll
1:18Try to do the best I can
1:22Tears will run swift
1:23And tears will come that fall like rain
1:30I pray that it′s swift though
1:32Tears will fall as cold as pain
1:38I pray to the almighty
1:41Let me not to him do
1:42As he has unto me
1:46Teach my beloved children
1:48Who have been enslaved
1:49To reach for the light continually
1:51So many times I prayed
1:59So many times I′ve prayed for you
2:07Prayed for you
2:11The tears run swift and hard and cold as pain
2:19Even even the comfort of a stone would be a gain
2:27Had I not had the strength and wisdom of a warrior
2:31I would have to give up
2:35But I′m thankful that I′m
2:39Strong as I am and I′ll
2:41Try to do the best I can
2:43Tears will run swift
2:45And tears will come that fall like rain
2:51I pray that it′s swift though
2:56Tears will fall as cold as pain
2:59I pray to the almighty
3:03Let us not do as he has unto us
3:07Teach my beloved children I′ve been a slave
3:11But reach for the light continually
3:16Wisdom is the flame
3:18Wisdom is the brave warrior
3:21Who will carry us into the sun
3:24I pray that it′s swift though
3:26Tears will come that fall like rain
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
