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
