G C
A mother cries, in a worn out two room house
Am D
Her only son is leavin, but she's glad He's gettin out
G C
He sits her down, says you deserve a better life
Am D
I'm gonna make one for us, cross my heart and hope to die

I'll be back and everyone will know my name

Next time you lay eyes on me things won't be the same

Rest assured every word I say is true

I'm goin to a better place

He had a voice like no one had ever heard

People came from miles around, hung on to every word

But there were those, He could not make believe

They called Him names and laughed at Him

And He said wait and see

They say He walked up that hill at Calvary
Am
And not even the weight of the world

Could bring Him to His knees

And everybody heard it as they nailed Him to the cross
He said

I'll take you to a better place
