1
There's a river running sweat right through our land, through our land
2
Driven by a man with a bull whip in his hand, in his hand
3
And I've taken just as much as I can stand, I can stand
4
Oh, we've got to free our brothers
5
From their shackles if we can, if we can
6
Most nights I have to watch my woman cry, oh, she cries
7
Every day I watch the colonel smile, oh, he smiles
8
His painted ladies riding in from town, in the town
9
Oh, I swear one day I'm gonna burn
10
That whore house to the ground, to the ground
11
Slave, slave
12
To face the violence we must be brave
13
Hold on strong to the love God gave
14
Slave, slave
15
To face the violence we must be brave
16
Hold on strong to the love God gave

Slave
18
There's a rumor of a war that's yet to come, yet to come
19
That may free our families
20
Free our families and our sons, and our sons
21
It can lay green lands to wastes of barren, waste of a waste
22
Oh, the price of release is a bitter blow to face, that of face
23
Slave, slave
24
To face the violence we must be brave
25
Hold on strong to the love God gave
