Early in the morning I wake up
I look up in the sky for strength
I pray to GOD for Guidance
My face is dry and still I cry.
Will I ever be free? Will I feel true love?
My master who once said he loves me
He locked me up, and beats me.
His hands were once gentle
His actions are unbelievable
My man my HUSBAND
Your hands destroyed me
I can't face My family
I keep looking for sympathy
Our kids are afraid of you
Your hands have destroyed me
I cook and clean.
I offer you food with a smile, like I'm happy
I wish you could see your heart that your need me
But everytime you drunk you beat me
Your hands have destroyed me.
I remember the time I met you
You were so fine and handsome
I couldn't believe I'm with you
It was our time 'now or never'
I wish your mother was here
Because now I live with fear
Will I see another day?
Will I again say my prayers?
My master who beats me
My man my HUSBAND
I can't move freely
Your presence torments me
When you walk next to me
You make me feel worthy
Will you survive without me
Today I leave you
My man MY HUSBAND
Will I ever miss you?
