Cry To Me

Tell them tell them,
 Tell them the reason why you crying children
 Tell them, tell them tell them the
 Reason why you shed those tears
 (rep.)

 If I never did right or if I
 ever did wrong, wrong, wrong,
 It's because situation arise
 Where things don't seem to belong

 Trial and crosses are always
 Before me thorns and prickles
 in-a my way, my way, my way,
 With the task-master always
 Behind me, waiting for a chance
 To take my life away.

 And my burdens, they're getting
 Heavy and heavier every day
 My burdens, I'm like one who
 Labours without no pay
 My burdens sweating like a slave to live another day
 My burdens, if I didn't follow my
 Mind I would be gone astray.

 For silver and gold have I none have I none
 Silver and Gold have I none have I none
 Silver, silver, silver and Gold have I none, have I none
 Silver and gold have I none have I none.

 So wont you tell them tell them
 Tell them the reason why you crying children.
 Tell them, tell them, tell them the 
 Reason why you shed those tears
 (rep.)

 Working round the clock and obeying
 The gong is like the weak who's
 Got to feed the strong
 I got to carry my load like a
 Child of Israel battering and
 Dragging along, along, along.
 Blessed is the man who keepeth
 his faith, and hope for the
 day of his great Redemption
 to get away from grief and hate
 And into the joys of the sweet liberations.

 Slave driver, dry bone crying in the wilderness
 Slave driver, only muscle and blood can stand the test (rep.)

 Moses Children I know was
 In shadows of death the shadows a death
 But Moses Children, they rose from strength to strength. (rep.)
