lirik lagu poor bishop hooper – risk on me
[verse 1]
why’d you ever take a risk on me?
i didn’t know my own heart, didn’t know my greed
you left house and home to a slave unfreed
oh, why’d you ever take a risk on me?
[verse 2]
brother took the most, but the most he made
multiplied five~fold with the gold you gave
sister no thought did the very same
and took two, made two in her master’s name
[chorus]
i was tired of thinking on your reasonless escape
a trust so far unknown, so foreign made to me
[verse 3]
i set out in of the night as the fear set in
and pulled ground from the ground ’til my two hands quit
there was not a soul to see where i hid
every single ounce, every single cent you’d given
[chorus]
i was tired of thinking on your reasonless escape
a trust so far unknown, so foreign made to me
[interlude]
[bridge]
when he returns, he calls for my brother
when he returns, he calls for her, too
and with joy in his eyes, he sees their faithful work
and says, “well done, my child, come rejoice with me
well done, my child, come rejoice with me”
[outro]
hung my head when he called my name
knew i’d done nothing but cowering
and took him to the pit as i hid my face
and gave back to him the only chance he gave
oh, i gave back to him the only chance he gave
