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
Ill be back and every one will 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
Ill be back and every one will 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
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
Ill be back and every one will know my name
Next time you lay eyes on me, will you feel the shame?
Rest assured, every word I say is true
Ill take you to a better place but I promise you, Ill be back, I'll be back
