lyrics

Here I am, working for the man that put me
Here I am, good enough to use these hands

Here I am, working for the man that took me
Here I am, good enough to work this land

Ooh

There you were, you held the mercy in your hands
There you were, instead of love you gave me wrath,
Here I am, look me in the eyes

Oh Creator, oh Creator
Here I am
Oh Creator, oh Creator
Here I am

I must have read that book a hundred times
I didn’t find one thing to justify your uncivil lies in the name of civilization
I just have a few reservations, I must have read that book one hundred times, didn’t see anything to justify, your savage tries,
at such a savage life

Oh Creator, oh Creator,
Here I am
Oh Creator, oh Creator,
Here I am
