lyrics
I know you know heartache,
I know you know ruts.
I know you've seen better days,
Who hasn't seen better days?
You also know family.
You also know trust.
I gave up on better days.
But all your stolen sisters,
They'll never fully understand.
Decipher a thieving claw,
From an outstretched, begging hand.
I am a ravished child,
I am an overworked, bleeding man.
Will you remember my face?
Will you remember my heart?
Will you remember my world?
Will you remember your part?
Well you've witnessed breaking.
You've also seen mends.
I gave up on better days.
And your world you're making.
Mine uncontrollably spins.
It's getting hard to believe,
It's the same world we're both in.
Well you've witnessed breaking.
You've also seen mends.
I gave up on better days.
Your image was tarnished,
Because your efforts were spent,
Working on a ship trading slaves,
Then you wrote Amazing Grace.
