Home is where I came from
I have not been home since I left
I’m in the waiting room waiting for my name to be called
Because God is waiting for us all
I came to suffer many things
Before I’m issued my wings
Home is a yearning and a burning
That never goes away
Family don’t know how to t treat you
When you’re right in their face
But they miss you when you’re gone
When you pass away they scream, holler and shout
What’s that all about?
When you were here they were quick
To put you out
Miss me now while I’m here
Not when I’m gone
Miss me now before my name is on a stone
When I’m gone I won’t know if you cared
I won’t even know if you were there
My ears won’t be open to your tears
Make potato salad cook a ham bake me a sweet potato pie
Because I can’t eat that when I die
Come visit me now
Talk to me about the things
That we use to do yesterday
Because today I’m gone away
I feel no more pain
And I won’t know that you came
