On My Own (独自一人) (《一个国家的诞生》电影插曲) - Lecrae/Leon Bridges (利昂·布里奇斯) Leon Bridges: I've come a long way
From a very hard place
It's been a hard race But somehow I found my way home
I've walked a long road
To where only god knows
But when the trumpet blows you know
I did it all on my own Oh oh oh oh
Ohhhhhh
Oh oh oh oh
Ohhhhhh Lecrae:
I've been pushing hard
I've been praying harder Only heaven can help me They took my earthly father Martyred and promised me death then walked me into my grave
I'd rather die a free man then live on earth a slave I'm fighting for people they put in chains They stripped our heritage they took our names Put our women to shame
Whipped us and beat us mislead us but they can't take our passion Take my body but my soul won't fit inside your casket Leon Bridges: Forget what I said forget what I did I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again
And if you're going through hell Keep it going my baby promise that heaven is near
I've come a long way
From a very hard place
It's been a hard race But somehow I found my way home
I've walked a long road
To where only god knows
But when the trumpet blows you know
I did it all on my own Oh oh oh oh
Ohhhhhh
Oh oh oh oh
Ohhhhhh Lecrae:
Taken from Africa
Treated like animals
Culturally denigrated
Broke up our families Prison of false religion the same god you lied on
The same god I rely on I'm strive on Alone just a small tribe Fought for truth for y'all died Martyrs live forever so Out the depths we all rise Die for a freedom that I'll never see I pray y'all live it to the fullest for my legacy
Let's go Leon Bridges: Forget what I said forget what I did I did what I had to do and I'd do it all again
And if you're going through hell Keep it going my baby promise that heaven is near
I've come a long way
From a very hard place
It's been a hard race But somehow I found my way home
