Deliver Me

(álbum: Sonia Dada - 1992)

God won't you deliver me
From the pain and my confusion
Growing up in the city streets
In a desperate situation
And a crying mother's deep despair
Comes as no surprise

There's a crying angel over me
That is keeping me alive
God deliver me

I had lost my innocence
And I had lost my pride
Every time I looked at her
You know my mama cried
She said "What could I do different?
There ain't no one by my side
What could do different?"
I'm just trying to survive

God deliver me
From the madness of this world
God deliver me
Frightened of this world

I have heard the voice of evil
Speak to me alone
Sitting cold and lonely
And so far away from home
In the darkness of the prison cell
I can hear the angry screams
Calling out to no one
In a place where no one dreams

God won't you deliver me
I've never been before
People say you're watching me
But I'm not really sure
