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 messin' 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 grandma past, my brother's 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 (yeah)
Lord, it's obvious we got a relationship
Talkin' 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
Climb the trees my forefathers hung from
Ask those trees for all their wisdom
They tell me my ears are so young (home)
Go back, 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
