My heart has not felt a beat so strong, As the daythat you first touched me. And yet I still don't know where I belong, Or if anything's even meant to be. I was hopeful when you entreated me, And somehow my soul let you in, But lately it has ushered you to the door, And has sealed it up tight again. And my conscience stakes not even a claim, To the muddled life that I live, I am but a slave who never meant any harm, And I pray that you will forgive.

Slavery
My heart has not felt a beat so strong, As the daythat you first touched me. And yet I still don't know where I belong, Or if anything's even meant to be. I was hopeful when you entreated me, And somehow my soul let you in, But lately it has ushered you to the door, And has sealed it up tight again. And my conscience stakes not even a claim, To the muddled life that I live, I am but a slave who never meant any harm, And I pray that you will forgive.
