Hear them callin' us to rise, over Eden burns the sun Slowly I climb from that bed of hay, that new day of hardship begun Bred a slave in West Missouri, cured tobacco I did roll My wife and daughters owned by another, down the road in Glasgow It tortures my poor soul Soon my dear you'll see, these days of darkness end It may cost my life to set you free, but I'd have you back in my arms again Mr. Ben'jun feeds us early, then we work til the stars shine high That lash cracks hard for the sake of time, so modest man's wealth don't run dry Then I read the words of Abraham, our salvation drawing near These chains I wear and scars I bear, won't hold me down in fear It's time I fly from here Soon my dear you'll see, these days of darkness end It may cost my life to set you free, but I'd have you back in my arms again Miss Diggs, you stop my every try, how can a Christian justify Lord knows, man can't steal his flesh and blood, his own child The longer you hold them, the longer you'll burn in hell Now I stand among the Union ranks, His grace is on my side Come sunrise we'll be at your door, your mistress can no longer hide From free man's given right Soon my dear you'll see, these days of darkness end It may cost my life to set you free, but I'd have you back in my arms again Now I have you back in my arms again In my arms again
