On My Way Up Lyrics - Southern Gothic - The Constellations

Woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes 

Thanking The Lord and not the day I do rise 

I'm at the station lookin down in the track 

Got to go forward, aint never turnin back , no. 

This southern city been all that ive know, yeah 

And all I ever will this place is my home. 

And as I leave the station, aint got no destination, 

Without no hesitation, hands together praisin His name. 

I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me x2 

I kissed my momma, waved my daddy goodbye. 

I'm on my way up, way on to the other side. 

I've walked this road about as far as it goes and 

My souls been broken I can't walk no more. 

Lord forgive me cause I know I've done wrong, 

Walk beside me help them sing this song 

I don't need no diamonds blingin, 

I hear the angels singin 

the gates of heaven swangin 

opened up and let me in here. 

I'm on my way up, on my way up, heaven hold a place for me (x2) 

Off to the Promised Land. 

Open up the gates and let me in 

So tired of this struggle against the wind 

I can't go no further, I give in 

Let me rest my head and catch my breath 

The roads so cold I caught my death 

Been runnin & runnin I can't run no more 

drop to my knees rise above 

This heartache, just too much pain departed 

and heaven awaits a poor soul, my mortal coil 

is just a bag of bones that you can bury down low 

The red clay, my Georgia soil, the land I love and I come home 

I'm leavin, never come to return, 

I'm gonna take that walk and leave this world 

I'm on my way up, on my way up, Heaven hold a place for me (x4) 

I'm on my way up, on my way up, on my way up (x2) 

I'm on my way up (x2) 

I'm on my way up, on my way up, on my way up (x2)
