Artist: Joy Oladokun

album: in defense of my own happiness (complete)

They drowned me in the Jordan
Then they tried to wash me clean
They got the stains out
But now it's too damn hard to breathe
They told me he's a good Lord
As they tied the shackles to my feet
They drowned me in the Jordan
And then they walked away from me
I washed up on the shores alone
In a tattered wedding gown
Disillusioned and hardened
Everything I'd known had let me down, down, down
That is where you found me
Grace and whisky on your breath
You pulled me back on my feet
And taught me how to dance again
Now we're building our own promised land
On this new ground we stand
God bless the work of our hands
And make good on our plans
'Cause now I've found love
There's no turning back
Oh-oh-oh-oh
I don't feel so young now
Gave the best years of my life away
I tried to build an institution
Instead of tryna keep the faith
If you'd been the one
You loved me though I was not lovely or deserving
You kissed the curse from my lips
And taught them to rejoice again
Now we're building our own promised land
On this new ground we stand
God bless the work of our hands
And make good on our plans
'Cause now I've found love
There's no turning back
♪
Now I've found love
There's no turning back
