Lying here in darkness
Far too long
Dont need forgiveness
Ive done nothing wrong
When this night is over
They may set me free
If they keep me longer
Theyll have to bury me
Just to see the light of day
May drive me insane
Now this is my time to go
Im gonna get the hell away
Take me down to the water
Down to the rivers bend
Ive got to wash the shame off of me
So I can feel human again
Solos
A victim of slave trade
Many years unknown
She was lost and broken
Brought here all alone
They keep her up in a private room
For special company
If she tops all the others
That work out in the streets
All she wants is to get back home
Now Shes running away
When she finally walked out the door
This is all she had to say
Take me down to the water
Down to the rivers bend
Ive got to wash the shame off of me
So I can feel human again
(Repeat chorus)
