Someday, I swear on my life I'm gonna find a place,
where I can be at peace
A place where I can help build God's Temple,
on what used to be the threshing floor, where you and I can explore,
dimensions unforetold,
can I, brother can I, stand silently before the Lord
and wait for my salvation, can I escape the plantation mentality,
that binds my soul to the whipping post, will the Host of Hosts,
reach out with his hands and tell me I am worthy,
to live, to smile, to cry, to die, being free
Someday, I swear on my life I'm gonna find a place,
where I can be at peace,
a place where the Great Spirit will answer my prayers
and listen when I cry for help, where the frustrations of my life will slowly melt,
yes I will rise, I will rise from my slumber one day,
and don a robe of glorious white, and my heart will overflow with beautiful thoughts,
as I'm lead to the light, I don't want to be right anymore, Lord knows I don't want that chore,
I just don't want to be wronged, in my persuit of righteousness, can I insist?
That someday, I swear on my soul, I'm gonna find a place,
a place where I can ease my troubled mind,
a place where I can hear the triumphant shouts, of only the devout,
those who would not ignore a bleeding child, to stand pompusly in an aisle,
waiting for a blessing from a man with the same stain on his soul as myself,
a place where to know thyself is to truly live as one, with thyself,
where Bibles are placed on shelves and we discover the word of God
imprinted on our hearts, can I start searching please, please dear God can I?
Can I, swear on my soul to find a place,
a place where I can rest my troubled mind,
Lord knows, I dont want to die, but I can't live in a lie too long,
before what makes me strong, will force me into a state of weakness,
so I'm gonna seek this, while I still believe in me, while my enemies,
are still wondering about retribution, before the solution,
to easing what's left of the hatred in my soul, is to lose control
and make those that plot against me bleed, dear God can I be relieved
of this burden, finally and absolutely, can I be free?
Someday, I swear or I will die trying, I'm gonna find a place,
where I can finally sleep without worrying what the next day will bring,
Dear God, ransom me from my enemies, give me the strength to ignore
all they do and say, help me find a way, that leads to the love of my life,
wherever she may be, whomever she may be, dear God help me
to know that her smile will be the one, that leads me to your Only Son,
give she and I together the keys to Paradise, so when I breathe the last breath
in this tortured life, I will know truly in my heart, that I was loved,
that I was loved without prejudice, without motive and without presumption,
Lord tell me something, I need to know something, anything,
I don't want to die but I'm growing tired of searching,
give me the strength, give me the strength,
to walk on...
and fnd that place
Someday
