This is a song about Sojourner Truth, a black slave who went to Abraham Lincoln to find her children who were sold to other plantations. Lincoln helped her get her children back and she spoke at the first National Women's Rights convention. A hero among women.
Lyrics
She tells her tale of slavery - she sings her songs of misery - She must've had - a very hard life - I know it's hard - I know it's hard -- She sees the world through heavy eyes - she bears a child through more goodbyes - She must've had a very hard life - I know it's hard - I know it's hard - She cries at night and no one comes near her - the Angels hear her - she weeps alone --- She dies inside, you'd never know it - she doesn't show it -- she dies inside--- She speaks her mind - to be set free -- Another voice for you and me -- She must've had a very hard life -- I know it's hard - I know it's hard - I know it's hard....
