Alabama Sky

Lord, take me home

Take me home, but not today

I’m lost, but I’m not alone

I’m not alone, help me find a way

I’ve made promises to you I’ve failed to keep

Found myself sinning in my sleep

Lonely nights when I thought you’d give up on me

And then I’d fall down on my knees and there you’d be

Lord, make me strong

Make strong enough to take my brothers hand

Stand for however long

However long it takes to see the promised land

Southern breeze don’t feel like anything to me

I don’t remember feeling free

But I’ve seen the evening sun come dancing through the trees

And I thought that Alabama sky was just for me

Lord, take me home

Take me home, but not today

I’m lost, but I’m not alone

I’m not alone, help me find a way

I’ve forgiven those who lied and cursed my name

I pray my brothers do the same

My lady stayed beside me patient through the pain

And I saw sadness in her eyes but never shame

Lord, let them see

Let them see the heart that beats behind my skin

Lord, set me free

Set me free so you can do the same for them
