A GOD WHO CAN'T SEE
I was abducted from Eden,
an innocent soul,
crossed seas and centuries,  
chained and cold;
My mother was raped
and beaten to death,
my father's a mule,
and my sister is kept.

How can a people
praise God that they’re free,
even brag about freedom,
and still look upon me?
I was chained to this land,
this “Land of the free;”
They’re either out of their minds,
or praise a God who can’t see.
