roy c - great, great grandson of a slave كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
i’m a great, great grandson of a slave
tryin’ hard to forget about the past
we had ups and downs, trials and tribulations
but we knew all the time they weren’t gonna last

[chorus]
there are things i never heard of
many things i never seen
but it all comes to me in a dream

[verse 2]
oh lord, i can look out to sea
lord, the ocean wide
and see the ships comin’ in
oh, from the other side
take a look at my people
all chained and bound
and every one i see
they’re wearin’ a frown
i can see the women cryin’
after bein’ separated from the children
i can see the husbands
lord, with tears in their eyes
yeah lord

[chorus]
there are things i never heard of
many things i never seen
but it all comes to me in a dream

[verse 3]
oh lord, oh lord
oh lord, oh lord
last night i had a dream
that my great, great, great grandfather died on a slave ship
somewhere out on the open sea
but my great, great, great grandmother
his thoughts carried on
“oh, surely one day i’ll, i’ll be free..”
oh lord, oh lord
i can see one slave runnin’
lord, tryin’ to get away
i can see another slave
oh, tryin’ to pray
i can hear him say, “allah”
“oh, allah”
listen, mr. president carter
we still have slaves in south africa
now tell me what you gonna do about it?
tell me!
oh, what you gonna do?
all chained and bound!

- roy c
