Slave
When I work I sweat to the bone,
it is the only world I had ever known.
When the sun shines bright,
everything is out of sight.
I work 17 hours of the day,
only getting zero dollars of pay.
But one night half asleep,
I saw a big herd of sheep.
Going this way and that,
they looked like a crazy Bobcat.
Then I saw someone coming
When he opened the door,
Everybody was on the floor.
When I got outside there was nobody there,
Where had they gone where, where, where?
I followed a dirt path
Then I saw a torch glow red,
then I knew the group was still being lead.
