Black Work Lyrics

Our dark-skinned sis and bro's
Coming here from Ethiopia
The tradition they possess
Is so ancient and wise

Our lost brothers, the lost tribe
After lot of pain and hardship
Slowly starting to reveal
The far country in their eyes

Dreamed for years about this country
Reality's not what they've prayed
They've been told to soak, convert
Wash their innocence away

And looking in their eyes
I saw a gleaming light
I'm not sure if Abrahams
Skin was all that bright

Our dark-skinned sis and bro's
in absorption center in Tiberias
Merely trying to absorb
It can be tough

From the around the fire place
Over the hills and far away
To the local western street
Digital, messy and rough

Dreamed for years about this country
Reality's not what they've prayed
It is happening here as well
Exile continue to prevail

And looking in their eyes
I saw a gleaming light
I'm not sure if Abrahams
Skin was all that bright

Our dark-skinned sis and bro's
Walking barefoot on the byway
Leading their humiliation
To Jerusalem by feet

They stand in front of the building
They face a heart of stone
They are waiting for the door
It won't open, not a bit

They were loyal all these years, yes
They were waiting for the word
Only drudgery is left
Now isn't that absurd

And looking in their eyes
I saw a gleaming light
I'm not sure if Abrahams
Skin was all that bright
