Take me in like I've never been Lead me now to your hearts chagrin Take me in by the river's bend There I can wash away my sins Oh, won't you take me in? Walk me down to the hallowed ground There I promise not to lose my crown Walk me down to the better's mound The shouts of victory are the only sound Oh, won't you walk me down? '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 circlin' in the wind I'll fly to your cage so you can take me in Oh, won't you take me in? ♪ 'Cause I've seen our mothers cry within From our fathers who refuse to call us kin But I've sinked my hands and nails in their skin Let's break this curse Oh, won't you take me in? Oh, won't you take me in? Oh, won't you take me in? Oh, won't you take me in Let's go! ♪ Oh, won't you take me in? ♪ Oh, won't you take me in? Oh ♪ Oh, won't you take me in? Oh, won't you take me in? Oh, won't you take me in?
