To my home, to my mother's arms

And fly away, from the life I made

[Instrumental]

One day, I will turn

C G C G

From a life of sin, that I have learned

One day, I'll understand

How to love, with broken hands

C G C G

Ohhhhhhhh, Hooooooooo

Hooooooooo, Mmmmmmmmmm

One day, I'll see a lord

C G C G

And my chains will fall, with just one word

C G C G

And that one word, it's the sweetest sound

C G C G

A saving grace, falling down

C G C G

And one day, I will be free

C G C G

From this heart, black as the sea
