Take Him Away - Dirt Poor Robins

He is not like them

A stranger in this place

A foreign look about his face

His falling tears like waves break on the shores

On these seldom dampened floors

And with his head bowed low

And kneeling in regret

Though very bitterly he wept

He sang out in an unfamiliar tone

A melody we had not known

It was a prayer for the ones he’d wronged

His guilt made plain in a humble song

For we all heard him confess

As he called on God’s forgiveness

Take him away

I’ve washed my hands and I cannot be played

No I will not before his final fate

He will not find justice here today

Take him away (He does not belong here)

I’ve washed my hands and I will not be played (He does not belong here)

No I will not before his final fate (He does not belong here)

He will not find justice here today

Take him away (He does not belong here)

I’ve washed my hands and I will not be played (He does not belong here)

No I will not before his final fate (He does not belong here)

He will not find justice here today

Take him away (He does not belong here)

I’ve washed my hands and I will not be played (He does not belong here)

No I will not before his final fate (He does not belong here)

He will not find justice here today

Take him away

Take him away

Take him-
