Luyện nghe bài hát Strange Messengers

I looked upon the book of lifeTracing the lines of face after faceLooking down at their feetBound in chains bound in chainsChains of leather chains of gold
We knew it was wrong but we looked awayAnd them down the colonial streetsAnd that's how they became enslaved
came across on the great ships
Mothers separated from their babesHusbands stood on the auction in chains bound in chainsChains of leather chains of gold
Men knew it was wrong but looked away
And led them to toil in fields of
As they turned their necks to a landscape
Oh the people I hear calling
Am I not a man and a
Am I not a woman and a
History us such strange messengers
They come down through timeTo embrace to enrageAnd in their arms even stranger fruitAnd swing from the trees
their vision in flames
Ropes of leather of goldMen knew it was wrong but they looked awayMessengers swinging from twisted ropeAs they turned their necks to a bitter landscape
Oh the people I hear them
Am I not a man and a brotherAm I not a woman and a will be heard we will be heard
