The river is deep and the road is long,
Daylight comes and I want to go home. | | Awoke this morning
To find my people's tongues were tied
And in my dreams
They were given books to poison their minds. |
The river is deep and the mountain high,
How long before the other side. | | We are their mortar,
Their building bricks and their clay.
Their gold teeth mirror
Both our joys and our pain. |
The river is deep and the ocean wide,
Who will teach us how to read the signs. | | The earth is our mother
She taught us to embrace the light,
Now the lord is master
She suffers an eternal night. |
You blocked up my ears,
You plucked out my eyes,
You cut out my tongue,
You fed me with lies, | | Oh lord. |
