'Twas in another life time, One of toil and blood.

When blackness was a virtue And the road was full of mud.

I was burned out from exhaustion I was buried in the hail.

Poisoned in the bushes An' blown out on the trail

Hunted like a crocodile, Ravaged in the corn

Now there's a wall between us Something has been lost.

In a little hill top village I gambled for my clothes
E Emaj7 Esus4 “O”
I bargained for salvation And they gave me a lethal dose.

If I could only turn the clock back To when God and her were born

Come in she said I'll give you Shelter from the storm.
