GOD OF MY PEOPLE
THERE WAS GOOD IN THAT DREAM OF GRAPES AND WINE
A ROYAL RESTORED IN THREE DAYS TIME
AND LIBERATION SEEMED NOT FAR BEHIND
FOR AN INNOCENT MAN, STOLEN FROM HIS TRIBE
MY FEET WERE IN FETTERS, MY NECK WAS IN IRON
MY BROTHERS WERE OLDER AND SICK OF MY PRIDE
THEY TRADED ME TO ISHMAELITES
I WAS SOLD AS A SLAVE ONCE UPON A TIME
THROWN INTO PRISON, DETAINED AND CONFINED
BETRAYED AND MISTREATED AND FALSELY MALIGNED
WHILE RUMINATION WOULD ECHO A TRAGIC PLIGHT
THE GOD OF MY PEOPLE HAS FAVORED ME IN HIS SIGHT
SO TELL ME YOUR DREAMS AND I'LL SPEAK WHAT I FIND
THE GOD OF MY PEOPLE BRINGS MYSTERIES TO LIGHT
THE GOD OF MY PEOPLE PUTS WISDOM IN MY MIND
THE GOD OF MY PEOPLE HAS NEVER LEFT MY SIDE
