Verse I
High school I had a date to prom, but then she told me nah
Because her daddy hated me 'cause of my skin color
And that's what happens when you grow up in America
It hurt so bad, I could never even tell my mom

I can't even fake it, I'm so sick of prayin’
Trynna keep my faith when nothing's even changin’
Drug addiction, prostitution’s everywhere
Sickness, death, and poverty - deception hovers in the air

I can't get no hope in here / I can’t get no love
Don't nobody seem to care / Streets are full of blood
But one day there will be no suffering - there will be no tears
Won't nobody die no mo’ - there will be no fear

‘Cause I promise you He loves you, and He has not forgotten you
He’s got a perfect plan - that’s why He rose and died for you
So you can put that knife down, and that gun down, and them pills too
Rise up from the grave, Jesus came so you could live too - He's here for you

Chorus:
Now i lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If i die before i wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

I wanna fly, wanna fly (I wanna go home)
I wanna fly, wanna fly (I wanna go home)

Verse II
Home is where the heart is - so many people heartless
Aiming at wrong targets - it all started in the Garden
Since the fall of man, we all been cursed, we all are damaged
Can’t wait to go to Heaven - compared to Earth, it’s so outlandish

Trouble we all see - Taliban in the middle east
Here we got crooked police / Racism hasn’t ceased
But with Jesus, there is peace / He has given you the keys
He made you a masterpiece, more valuable than Mona Lisa

You’re a work of art
If you got Jesus in your heart, you know that home’s not far
Bring to Him your broken pieces, come just as you are
He gone take you to some beaches - you don’t need a car

The beaches is a metaphor - God got better for you
He got all you need and more / Oh yes, He adores you
So if you’re feelin’ homeless, or you’re feelin’ homesick
Call on Jesus - phoneless - His presence is where home is

Chorus (3x)

Refrain:
There will be no suffering
There will be no tears
Won’t nobody die no mo’
There will be no fear

Now don’t you cry for me when I’m gone
Now don’t you cry for me when I’m gone

Outro
We don’t die no mo’
We don’t cry no mo’
Don’t die don’t die
Don’t cry don’t cry

Don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry for me
Don’t you cry, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry for me
