THE BOY FROM THE PLANTATION

I knew when I cradled you
 That you were gonna shine
 As your hand held so tightly
 Forever I thought onto mine
 When you'd cry I'd wrap you in a blanket
 And sing you my songs
 All I knew to right the wrongs
 As we held onto love
 As we held onto love

 The boy from the plantation they could not repress
 Who strummed and sung to dreams and injustice

 I descended into hell
 When I lost your smile
 But I was always there
 Even in exile
 In the cadence of the wind
 It's throat in your strings
 It's lungs upon your tongue
 Rivers of us join and run
 They join and run
