A Step Back to Egypt

I wasn't a native in the land, but I blended in wasn't a place I called home, but I dwelt it simply a misfit trying to fit in a victim of circumstance a weakened soul that knew no resistance adapted to the cruelty and swore my allegiance In the mist of the pain I found closure despite the stress, i took hold of my composure My true self hidden in a chained enclosure I survived the tyranny sorrowful songs were the only company but in all the agony i remained a faithful slave convinced that the only alternative was to be brave Freedom was far from a delicacy I could crave Then you came with hope engraved all over your name Rescued me from the land of shame Fed my hungry tummy with the attention I never had Pointed the way to freedom, where i could be glad Watered my withered Love garden and welcomed my torn heart into your haven I beg of you please! Take a tight grip of this hand, to never release From a distance I see Pharaoh with a swarm of chariots like bee's I give you my heart and soul to encrypt I can't take a step back to Egypt
