Merciful Be - American Freedom

Our home, this earth, we did not own but, still we would not flee. The White man came and brought us death. O God, Be merciful to we. We Wiccan’s came to this far place with thoughts we would be free. All Nature was our finest God, O God, Be merciful to we. They cared not for our hearts desire as draught and comet fell, they burnt our brethren by decree, O God, Be merciful to we. Black men were brought from foreign shores next, cross the rolling seas... as slaves they lived, as slaves they died, Oh God, be merciful to we. Women, one and all, sought freedom from patriarchs degrees. Still, on we labor long for less Oh God, be merciful to we.
