The Black Slave
Do white men know?
Know my pain?
Know the callous from the hoe?
The ache and pains a body can have?
The loss of family or friends?
The tears that fall in the darkness?
Trying to see hope around the bend?
The sound of a whip?
Remembered for life.
Know my pain?
Know the callous from the hoe?
The ache and pains a body can have?
The loss of family or friends?
The tears that fall in the darkness?
Trying to see hope around the bend?
The sound of a whip?
Remembered for life.
I think of good things.
The sparkling brown eyes of my wife.
The hope of freedom.
The songs and smiles.
My children to hug forever.
Peace and strength along the miles.
