A mother cries in a worn out two-room house
Her only son is leaving, but shes glad Hes getting out
He sits her down, says you deserve a better life
Im gonna make one for us, cross my heart and hope to die

chorus:
Ill be back and everyonell know my name
Next time you lay eyes on me, things wont be same
Rest assured every word I say is true
Im going to a better place but I promise you
Ill be back

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

repeat chorus

They say he walked up that hill at Calvary
And not even the weight of the world could bring Him to his knees
His Fathers Son, He was born to pay the cost
And everybody heard it as they nailed Him to the cross
He said:

repeat chorus
