Slaves to Liberty

  • Your worth is so much more than words
    I know the sound of it is absurd
    They'll say it's easier to wallow in distress
    It might be true but then we'd look like all of them

    Call on me, we'll rise upon our knees
    Just call on me ?cause I'm not that far away
    Call on me, we're slaves to liberty
    Just call on me ?cause I'm not that far, not that far away

    I know you look for clever words
    But simple truth's what you deserve
    I have a lifetime of this evidence in me
    But you don't need a story, you need broken legs

    Call on me, we'll rise upon our knees
    Just call on me ?cause I'm not that far away
    Call on me, we're slaves to liberty
    Just call on me ?cause I'm not that far, not that far away

    I see your legs are broken bones
    Maybe instead of running
    Just crawl right back to home

    Let go the contraband, my friend
    We cannot gravitate to destination death

    Call on me, we'll rise upon our knees
    Just call on me ?cause I'm not that far away
    Call on me, we're slaves to liberty
    Just call on me ?cause I'm not that far, not that far away
