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
