| Woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes
|
| Thanking The Lord and not the day I do rise
|
| I’m at the station lookin down in the track
|
| Got to go forward, aint never turnin back, no.
|
| This southern city been all that ive know, yeah
|
| And all I ever will this place is my home.
|
| And as I leave the station, aint got no destination,
|
| Without no hesitation, hands together praisin His name.
|
| I’m on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me x2
|
| I kissed my momma, waved my daddy goodbye.
|
| I’m on my way up, way on to the other side.
|
| I’ve walked this road about as far as it goes and
|
| My souls been broken I can’t walk no more.
|
| Lord forgive me cause I know I’ve done wrong,
|
| Walk beside me help them sing this song
|
| I don’t need no diamonds blingin,
|
| I hear the angels singin
|
| the gates of heaven swangin
|
| opened up and let me in here.
|
| I’m on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me (x2)
|
| Off to the Promised Land.
|
| Open up the gates and let me in
|
| So tired of this struggle against the wind
|
| I can’t go no further, I give in
|
| Let me rest my head and catch my breath
|
| The roads so cold I caught my death
|
| Been runnin & runnin I can’t run no more
|
| drop to my knees rise above
|
| This heartache, just too much pain departed
|
| and heaven awaits a poor soul, my mortal coil
|
| is just a bag of bones that you can bury down low
|
| The red clay, my Georgia soil, the land I love and I come home
|
| I’m leavin, never come to return,
|
| I’m gonna take that walk and leave this world
|
| I’m on my way up, on my way up, Heaven hold a place for me (x4)
|
| I’m on my way up, on my way up, on my way up (x2)
|
| I’m on my way up (x2)
|
| I’m on my way up, on my way up, on my way up (x2) |
