Sade - Slave Song Lyrics
I see them gathered, see them on the shoreI turned to look once moreAnd he who knows me notTakes me to the belly of darknessThe tears run swift and hardAnd when they fallEven, even the comfort of a stoneWould be a gainThere was a time when I thoughtI would have to give upBut Im thankful that imStrong as I am and illTry to do the best I can1 - tears will run swiftAnd tears will come that fall like rainI pray that its swift thoughTears will fall as cold as painI pray to the almightyLet me not to him doAs he has unto meTeach my beloved childrenWho have been enslavedTo reach for the light continuallySo many times I prayedSo many times Ive prayed for youPrayed for youThe tears run swift and hard and cold as painEven, even the comfort of a stone would be a gainHad I not had the strength and wisdom of a warriorI would have to give upBut Im thankful that imStrong as I am and illTry to do the best I canRepeat 1I pray to the almightyLet us not do as he has unto usTeach my beloved children Ive been a slaveBut reach for the light continuallyWisdom is the flameWisdom is the brave warriorWho will carry us into the sunI pray that its swift thoughTears will come that fall like rainSo many times, so many times
