Down by the lake of Mississippi A boy was born poor and abandoned And as he walk you could hear him yearning For a home and he prays
And by the fields he sang for rising All for his faith and memorizing All of the songs his mother learned from the lord himself
Heaven light a way for a fallen Let me ease the pain from my mother But he feels the deception in his head
Another day was born and rising and on the stool the boy was trying To earn a coin for his mother, and hoping That freedom will lead her away
Mr. Cadillac Blood: Dear little friend I've heard your story Please take my hand and I'll promise We'll find a way and we'll be fighting For your mother, and her wings
Heaven light a way for a fallen Let me ease the pain from my mother But he feels the deception in his head
Heaven light a way for another Let me ease the pain for a fallen We are on our way so much stronger Heaven light the way for another And he feels no deception in his head
