Well the sun beats down and the sand gets hot
Where i break my back hauling endless rock
For a man made god
I really don
I shoulder the rope and i bear the strain
Wipe the salt from my eyes and ignore the pain
Though i know when i fall
Another whip is coming
When i feel my body going down
And there
I know if i keep my faith in you
I
I
I
To be given as a token of god
The law says i
But my heart and my soul belong to me
They can hold me but i
When i feel my body going down
And there
I know if i keep my faith in you
I
Through the doubt
Give me strength to lead them out
Give them faith to follow me
Guide us through the sea
So help me god i
With the lives of thousands in my hands
As i carry them into the land you promised
And when i feel my body going down
And there
I know if i keep my faith in you
I
I know if i keep my faith in you
We
