Verse 1:
Here I am, standing in need
Separated from ‘de owner of my liberty
I pray some day He will forgive me
Take away ‘da pain and sufferin’
Chorus:
Take away ‘da bread of affliction
Take away ‘da curse and ‘da sword
Take away war and oppression
Take away, I want to come back

Remember ‘da promise you made to our fathers
Well here I am and right here, right here, I stand, so

Take away ‘da curse and ‘da sword
Take away war and oppression
Take away, I want to come back
Verse 2:
I thought ‘da grass was greena’ on ‘da other side
But when I got ‘dare I found I was blessed by your side
You’re everything I wanted and you’re all I’ll ever need
Just have a ‘lil mercy and forgive me – please!
