Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hot Where I break my back hauling endless rock For a man made God I really dont believe in I shoulder the rope and I bear the strain Wipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the pain Though I know when I fall Another whip is coming When I feel my body going down And theres nothing I can do I know if I keep my faith in you Im gonna make it through Im a prisoner here in this hall of kings Im gold Im jewels Im a diamond ring To be given as a token of Gods affection The law says Im their property But my heart and my soul belong to me They can hold me but Ill never be in their possession When I feel my body going down And theres nothing I can do I know if I keep my faith in you Im gonna make it through Through the doubt Give me strength to lead them out Give them faith to follow me Guide us through the sea So help me God Im a common man With the lives of thousands in my hands As I carry them into the land you promised And when I feel my body going down And theres nothing I can do I know if I keep my faith in you Im gonna make it through I know if I keep my faith in you Were gonna make it throughYou might also like
