Lord Help Me (Mono Single) - Donny Hathaway

This woman she knows The story of a heartbreak Beneath the weight of day She's seen the hate On people's faces Dark skin her only disgrace She cries help me please Lord help me please Her children she taught them How to be proud in the face Of adversity She gave them the love, respect and understanding Showing them The way to be free Lord help her please Lord help her please Lord, please She stands tallHigh as a mountain Her heart as deep as the sea She's known hardship and sorrow That brought her down on her knees Lord help her please Lord help her please Lord help her please Lord, please

Leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves suffuse the path The wind hums in a minor key, the melody of death Haze, there's haze, there's haze amongst the trees A deafening kind of silence and sights that make you freeze One on one, blood for blood, nemesis One on one, the reckoning will come Cut on cut, blow for blow, nemesis One on one and blood will fleck the sun Men, there are men, there are men in robes and rags Hanging on the oak tree boughs left for the crows and rats Heads, there are heads, there are heads that line the way Skewered onto upright stakes 'cause someone had to pay One on one, blood for blood, nemesis One on one, the reckoning will come Cut on cut, blow for blow, nemesis One on one and blood will fleck the sun One on one, blood for blood, nemesis One on one, the reckoning will come Cut on cut, blow for blow, nemesis One on one and blood will fleck the sun One on one, blood for blood, nemesis One on one, the reckoning will come Cut on cut, blow for blow, nemesis One on one and blood will fleck the sun
