Lord, I've really been real stressed
Down and out, losin' ground
Although I am black and proud
Problems got me pessimistic
Brothers and sisters keep messin' up
Why does it have to be so damn tuff?
I don't know where I can go
To let these ghosts out of my skull
My grandma past, my brothers gone
I never at once felt so alone (Alone)
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel
Not just my spare tire (Home)
But, lord, I ask you (Home)
To be my guiding force and truth (Home)
For some strange reason it had to be (Home)
He guided me to Tennessee (Home)
Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan
Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan
Lord, it's obvious we got a relationship
Talkin' to each other every night and day
Although you're superior over me
We talk to each other in a friendship way
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break
Outta the country and into more country
Past Dyesburg into Ripley
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me
Walk the roads my forefathers walked
Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from
Ask those trees for all their wisdom
They tell me my ears are so young (Home)
Go back to from whence you came (Home)
My family tree, my family name (Home)
For some strange reason it had to be (Home)
He guided me to Tennessee (Home)
Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan
Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan (Tenessee)
Now I see the importance of history
Why my people be in the mess that they be
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin' ghetto games
I ask you lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightment of all my folks
He said 'cause I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst
But I am still thirsty
The lord allowed me to drink some more
He said what I am searchin' for
Are the answers to all which are in front of me
The ultimate truth started to get blurry
For some strange reason it had to be
It was all a dream about Tennessee
Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan
Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan
Oh, won't you let me
Won't you let me
Won't you let me understand
Take me home
Take me home
Take me to you and their place
Take me home
