| [00:40.35] |
As I remember |
| [00:41.77] |
It was four hundred years or more |
| [00:45.84] |
|
| [00:47.66] |
Since you came to crucify |
| [00:50.68] |
|
| [00:52.27] |
And they were taken far away from home |
| [00:57.27] |
There were promises of paradise |
| [01:01.15] |
|
| [01:02.54] |
But if they had been told that day |
| [01:05.36] |
That they would be sold that this way |
| [01:07.92] |
|
| [01:08.43] |
To satisfy the souls of chosen men |
| [01:12.59] |
See I had to look carefully |
| [01:15.76] |
At the shame of my ancestry |
| [01:18.93] |
To redefine the storyline again |
| [01:23.06] |
Hey if I was taken for a day |
| [01:26.67] |
And shown another way |
| [01:29.35] |
Now every child can learn a different thing |
| [01:33.86] |
|
| [01:34.67] |
See I tried a million times |
| [01:37.12] |
But I had to change my mind |
| [01:40.20] |
Sadness was the best thing I could bring |
| [01:43.70] |
|
| [01:44.95] |
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said |
| [01:50.33] |
As he took away the blue above the clouds |
| [01:54.59] |
|
| [01:55.63] |
Superiority was clearly meant to be |
| [02:00.74] |
So destiny will manifest in time |
| [02:05.15] |
|
| [02:07.44] |
So where has the love all gone |
| [02:11.38] |
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale |
| [02:15.19] |
|
| [02:15.88] |
Of how I was put down where I don't belong |
| [02:22.22] |
Woman child and man for sale |
| [02:25.09] |
|
| [02:26.72] |
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity |
| [02:32.53] |
How can you be alive when you are dead |
| [02:36.31] |
|
| [02:36.92] |
With these chains of hypocrisy |
| [02:39.92] |
The shame of my ancestry |
| [02:43.26] |
Forever stained by blood in which you tread |
| [02:47.12] |
|
| [02:48.10] |
If I was taken for a day |
| [02:50.64] |
And shown another way |
| [02:53.26] |
Now every child can learn a different thing |
| [02:56.93] |
|
| [02:57.92] |
See I tried a million times |
| [03:01.30] |
But I had to change my mind |
| [03:04.00] |
Sadness was the best thing I could bring |
| [03:07.90] |
|
| [03:09.02] |
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said |
| [03:13.73] |
|
| [03:14.54] |
As he took away the blue above the clouds |
| [03:17.93] |
|
| [03:19.54] |
Superiority was clearly meant to be |
| [03:24.46] |
So destiny will manifest itself in time |
| [03:29.00] |
|
| [03:31.38] |
So where has the love all gone |
| [03:34.65] |
