Slave Song Lyrics - Lovers Live - Sade

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 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 the comfort of a stone would be a gain 

had i not 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
