Jacob's Dance Lyrics

It's a long time from the beginning
Do you think they knew the truth from the start
Worry not I heard them say
Did they pray for a black tomorrow

Dust conceals my face
The creases are so deep with age
In silence I lay
The strength of the youth I tried to save

Such fools begging for more
But in the end there is no more There is nothing left but me
And I'm the one no child shall see

Reflecting in my eyes
A life that could have been
A place they left behind
A life that should have been

From the life that you turned away
It hurts me to the end of sorrow
The crying children kneels and pray
For a light within a black tomorrow
