In the heart of the dark Lay down fall away Just cannot move My arms and legs I’m paralyzed Don’t recall how to free Myself from this My face contorted

What do they call me My skin is black My arms are long My hair is woolly My back is strong Strong enough to take the pain inflicted again and again My name is AUNT SARAH My name is Aunt Sarah

I have a life that's good At the end of the day Two arms around me Heaven to ground me And a family that always calls me home Four wheels to get there Enough love to share And a sweet, sweet, sweet song

Just call on me and I'll send it along With love, from me to you If there's anything that you want If there's anything I can do Da da da, da da dumb dumb da I've got arms that long to hold you And keep you by my side I've got lips that long to kiss you

How green, how green was my valley? To be told of such hills To be held in such spots To behold such warmth Call to arms these harmonies! And in happy agony we sing Oh, your deeps and your shades Where the wild roses pray Such heat from pride

The half a man that you've made of me If I only had one arm to hold you Well better yet if I had none at all Then I wouldn't have two arms that ache For you there'd be one less mem'ry to recall If I only had one ear to listen to The lies that you told to

I have a life that's good At the end of the day Two arms around me Heaven to ground me And a family that always calls me home Four wheels to get there Enough love to share And a sweet, sweet, sweet song

Heavy is the head that wears the crown Second guessing your decisions Trying to find out what's been missing Go and wake the king Call to arms For those who kiss the ring Stand your ground The walls are coming down

Far away over the sea In the arms of my darlin' hometown There's a river that's calling to me That river she runs all around The place that I call my hometown There's a valley on the side of the hill And flowers on an old windowsill A familiar old

And we're not blind We are listening This is your life, this is your time Show me now Show me the arms aloft This my chick This is your time It's like we just can't help ourselves Cause we don't know how to back down
