lyrics

SWEET CHARIOT

Oh no, Sweet Chariot, all of us have been betrayed,
they raised the debt again,
we don’t have enough to pay.
We’ve lost so much already,
will they meet us halfway?
Oh no, Sweet Chariot, they’re locking us in chains.

Inside these prison walls, blood and greed share a face.
All of us are strangers here;
each of us has been displaced.
Tangled between cold chains,
we can’t carry this heavy weight.
We want to go home, Sweet Chariot, but we need a little grace.

Blind and barely breathing,
they left us on our own.
If they can keep us grieving,
we won’t see all we’re missing,
all that’s just beyond these stones.

Let’s go home, Sweet Chariot, all of us have been set free.
Our whole debt was paid today,
there’s no need to beg and plead.
So come on, Sweet Chariot, they’ve been given what they need.
We’re going swimming in the Jordan, then we’re running to the sea.
Come on, Sweet Chariot, we’ve been given all we need.
