Lyrics

No love, no peace
No shoes on my feet
No home, just a shack
Where sleep
Take me back
To my life
With no shoes or room
Wind blowing east
I'm the cry of the slave
Wind blowing east
Carry tears, pain, and me
From this land where I live
On my knees
Oh God
Rise oh mother
And your tears
On my feet
Just a child
Where I sleep
I ain't got no love
And never no peace
Wind hear my prayer
Carry me
On your wings
Take me back
To my land
Won't you please
Wind blowing east
Rise oh mother
And your tears
On my feet
Just a child
Where I sleep
Ain't got no love
And never do I
Get a moment of peace
Wind hear my prayer
Carry me on your wings
Take me back
To my land
Won't youn please
Wind blowing east
I'm the cry of the slave
I ain't got no love
I ain't got no peace
I ain't got no shoes on my feet
Just a shack
Where I sleep
