Broken Moan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Back broken moan, I wear the same look on my bones
How much more can one man take
'Til he wears a hole right through his faith
Oh my lord
Broke open home, ain't no child gets left alone
Took the look right off his face
Just left the color, the creed and race
Oh my lord

[Chorus]
Oh my lord, oh my lord
He who hears these prayers must keep his word

[Verse 2]
No money down, ain't no warning ain't no sound
Took the skin from off our teeth and exposed the underneath
To my lord
Black water churns, ooh the fuel that the fire burns
Hold the candle to the flame as we kneel and speak his name
Oh my lord

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Setting sun, setting sun going down before the work is done
May it shine again tomorrow just the same
Oh everyone, everyone, stranded underneath the sun
Praying that their prayers aren't being made in vain
[Bridge]
In every town ain't no jobs left to be found
Ain't no lesson to unlearn, ain't no profits no return
Oh my lord

[Chorus]
