Sing Oh Barren One Songtext
von Sweet Honey in the Rock

Empty and lonely I was
Wordless and useless, I felt
Bounded and closed I wandered
Empty and useless I was

Then I lift my voice
Sing O barren one sing out and cry aloud
Sing O barren one and sing out cry aloud
Sing O barren one and sing out cry aloud
Sing O barren one and sing out cry aloud
Sing O barren one and sing out cry aloud
Sing O barren one and sing out cry aloud


Then I heard - thou that did′st not bear
Thou that did'st not travel with child
Break forth in the singing and ride out
For more are the children of the desolate

Than the children of a married wife
For more are the children of the desolate
Than the children of a married wife
Then I heard - open wide your curtains

I wonder
Empty and useless I am

Sing out and aloud
And cry aloud
And cry aloud
And cry aloud
And cry aloud
And cry aloud
And cry aloud
And cry aloud
