Now the Lord is master She suffers an eternal night
Who will show us how to read the signs
(Amen)
Oh Lord
The river is deep and the ocean wide
And in my dreams they were given books to poison their minds
(Amen)
Awoke this morning to find my people's tongues were tied
(Amen)
The river is deep and the mountain high
You blocked up my ears
You fed me with lies, oh Lord
You plucked out my eyes
How long before the other side
The earth is our mother she taught us to embrace the light
Oh Lord
(Amen)
(Amen)
I say
Their gold teeth mirror both our joys and our pain
We are their mortar, their building bricks and their clay
You cut out my tongue
(Amen)
