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
