Lyrics
Exodus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, I remember
When I first saw your eyes
Not for me to hold
For fear that I might break you
I knew right then and there
That you were the one
To carry on the name for me
Carry on the family
But then the soldiers came
They put the house in flames
And sent us to the hills
Your mother died protecting you
She fell screaming my name
And when it's late at night
Before the morning light
I wake at every sound
I've got to get you through somehow
It can't go on raining forever
As the dawn breaks
The border is ahead
Just past the horizon
I think that we might make it
But it's not for me to know
What's on the other side
Stopped in my tracks
By a child's gun
Let it rain, let it rain
