[Interlude]
When my father handed me the lash
Taught me false tradition
Separate my family white from black
Consecrate division
I was young and ignorant of grace
Lived as they had taught me
Down in the river
I claim my sins
Cast the devil off me
When my father handed me the lash
Taught me false tradition
Separate my family white from black
Consecrate division
I was young and ignorant of grace
Lived as they had taught me
Down in the river
I claim my sins
Cast the devil off me
