Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take me in
Like I've never been
Lead me now to your heart's chagrin
[Verse 2]
Take me in
By the river's bend
There I can wash away my sins
[Verse 3]
Oh, won't you take me in?
[Verse 4]
Walk me down
To the hallowed ground
There I promise not to lose my crown
[Verse 5]
Walk me down
To the better's mound
The shouts of victory are the only sound
[Verse 6]
Oh, won't you walk me down?
[Verse 7]
'Cause I've been there once, and I'll go again
Just as long as you're the one to take me in
Like a free bird circling in the wind
I'll fly to your cage so you can take me in
[Verse 8]
Oh, won't you take me in?
[Verse 9]
'Cause I've seen our mothers cry within
From our fathers who refuse to call us kin
But I've sink my hands and nails in their skin
Let's break this curse, oh, won't you take me in?
[Verse 10]
Oh, won't you take me in?
Oh, won't you take me in?
Whoa, won't you take me in?
[Verse 11]
Let's go!
[Verse 12]
Ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya, ya
[Verse 13]
Oh, won't you take me in?
[Verse 14]
Ya, ya, ya (Yeah, yeah)
Ya, ya, ya, ya
[Verse 15]
Oh, won't you take me in?
[Verse 16]
Ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya, ya
[Verse 17]
Oh, won't you take me in?
Oh, won't you take me in?
Oh, won't you take me in?
