Move This Rope - J.B. Lenoir

Remove this rope from 'round my neck

It is almost 'bout to choke me to death

Remove this rope from 'round my neck

It is almost 'bout to choke me to death

Oh Lord, You know

You know I need me some rest

I have walked and I walked

'Til my feet is wet with sweat and full of soil

I have walked and I walked

'Til my feet is wet with sweat and full of soil

On Earth I haven’t found no rest

And, you know, I’m a-still walking yet

I watch the sun rise in the morning east

I talks to my Father, He talks back at me

I watch the sun rise in the morning east

I talks to my Father, He talks back at me

He said: «Don't worry, J. B

I will rise up a nation will set you free»

I broke down and cried

I know now someone had heard my prayer

I broke down and cried

I know now someone had heard my prayer

He said: «Dry them eyes

'Cause your God, now, is by your side»
