I'm Going Home

I WAS SITTING ON THE FRONT PORCH WITH MY MOMMA
WHEN SHE TOLD ME THE NEWS
THAT THE BATTLE THAT SHED BEEN HAVING WITH HER DISEASE
SHE WAS ABOUT TO LOSE

SHE PLACED HER HAND UPON MY CHEEK
AS A TEAR SLID DOWN MY FACE
SHE SAID MY TIME ON EARTH IS UP
BUT IM LEAVING FOR A BETTER PLACE

IM GOING HOME
WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAMES
AND THEYRE PAVED WITH GOLD
IM GOING HOME
WHERE THE FATHERS LOVE SHINES BRIGHTER THAN
A THOUSAND SUNS
ITS NOT GOODBYE, ITS SEE YOU LATER
SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD
WELL MEET AGAIN IN PARADISE
SO UNTIL THAT DAY COMES
IM GOING HOME

MOMMAS FAITH WAS STRONG AND UNSHAKEN
AS HER JUDGEMENT HOUR DREW NEAR
SHE SAID I CAN SEE THE PROMISED LAND AND ITS AMAZING
AS I WIPED AWAY A TEAR

SHE TOOK MY HAND AND SMILED AT ME
SAID DONT YOU CRY MY SON
ILL BE WAITING FOR YOU AT HEAVENS GATE
WHEN YOUR TIME COMES

IM GOING HOME
WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAMES
AND THEYRE PAVED WITH GOLD
IM GOING HOME
WHERE THE FATHERS LOVE SHINES BRIGHTER THAN
A THOUSAND SUNS
ITS NOT GOODBYE, ITS SEE YOU LATER
SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD
WELL MEET AGAIN IN PARADISE
SO UNTIL THAT DAY COMES
IM GOING HOME
