|
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 don? 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 there? nothing I can do
|
I know if I keep my faith in you
|
I? gonna make it through
|
|
I? a prisoner here in this hall of kings
|
I? gold I? jewels I? a diamond ring
|
To be given as a token of God? affection
|
The law says I? their property
|
But my heart and my soul belong to me
|
They can hold me but I?l never be in their possession
|
When I feel my body going down
|
And there? nothing I can do
|
I know if I keep my faith in you
|
I? 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 I? 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 there? nothing I can do
|
I know if I keep my faith in you
|
I? gonna make it through
|
|
I know if I keep my faith in you
|
We?e gonna make it through
|
