Oh Mother (feat. Jessica Childress)

Our arms are tired from the weight of your evil
Our hearts are full of the tears of the dead
He sits in silence, watching the violence
He watches the rivers run red

Above they sing Hallelujah
Mainly sing the songs of old
Songs of freedom, songs of justice
Outlives to echo the words of hope

She was born
She was born beneath the moonlight
And the stars called out her name (her name, her name, her name, her name)
She wrote her history in crimson
She heard the echoes of their pain

She wrote the magic of her heart line
Upon the wrinkles of her skin
Out stretched her arms to heaven
Is there a savior for their sins?

Oh mother, can't you hear the children mourn?
Oh help, I've journeyed so far from home
Oh healer, give us comfort where we grieve
Reveal us, show us what we built at sea
Can you help me sail?

And you keep us safe

And we cry
