singing the spirit home (1986) lyrics
they came for him in the morning, an hour before dawning
the pale white moon was waning in the african sky
the cell door flew wide open, they stood looking at him
he saw no mercy in their hearts, no pity in their eyes
as they took him and they bound him, tied his trembling hands behind him
he felt his courage leave him, his manhood disappear
his legs would not support him, so from the cell they dragged him
he sobbed and screamed and cursed them in his loneliness and fear
chains, chains, chains
how many souls have died in freedom’s name
to some it is a way of life, to others just a word
to some it is a snow_white dove, to some a bl__dy sword
but until the last chains fall, freedom will make slaves of us all
with faces closed and hidden the white guards walked beside him
indifferent to his pleading _ they’d been down this path before
but other eyes were watching, other ears were listening
other hearts beat with him in his final desperate hour
from the darkness of that prison came the sound of his brothers singing
courage, their voices told him, you do not walk alone
from their cells beyond the shadow he heard their voices echo
as in love and pride and sorrow they sang his spirit home
chains, chains, chains
how many souls have died in freedom’s name
to some it is a way of life, to others just a word
to some it is a snow_white dove, to some a bl__dy sword
but until the last chains fall, freedom will make slaves of us all
and their song of hope and freedom, it rang inside that prison
it beat against the iron bars and crashed against the stone
as in their fear and hate they hung him, the last sound that filled his being
was his brothers singing, singing his spirit home
courage, brother, you do not walk alone
we shall walk with you and sing your spirit home
