Lord I've really been real stressed

Down and out losing ground

Although I am black and proud

Problems got me pessimistic

Brothers and sisters keep messing up

Why does it have to be so damn Tuff

I don't know where I can go

To let these ghosts out of my skull

My grandmas past my brothers gone

I never at once felt so alone

I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel

Not just my spare tire home

But lord I ask you home

To be my guiding force and truth home

For some strange reason it had to be home

He guided me to Tennessee home

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

Lord it's obvious we got a relationship

Talking to each other every night and day

Although you're superior over me

We talk to each other in a friendship way

Then outta nowhere you tell me to break

Outta the country and into more country

Past dyesburg into Ripley

Where the ghost of childhood haunts me

Walk the roads my forefathers walked

Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from

Ask those trees for all their wisdom

They tell me my ears are so young home

Go back to from whence you came home

My family tree my family name home

For some strange reason it had to be home

He guided me to Tennessee home

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

Now I see the importance of history

Why people be in the mess that they be

Many journeys to freedom made in vain
