On My Way Up Lyrics

Woke up this morning with the sun in my eyes,
thanking the Lord another day I'd be alive.
I'm at the station, looking down on the tracks,
got to go forward, ain't no turing back (no).
This southern city has been all that I've known,
and all I ever will, this place is my home.
And as I leave the station, ain't got no destination,
without no hesitation, hands together praising,
His name, His name.

Chorus
I'm on my way up,
on my way up,
heaven opened up a place for me.
I'm on my way up,
on my way up,
heaven opened up a place for me.
I kiss my momma, wave my daddy goodbye,
I'm on my way up, way up to the other side.
I've walked this road about as far as it goes,
my souls are hoping I can't walk no more.
Oh Lord forgive me, I know I've done wrong,
walk beside me, hear me sing this song.
Don't need no diamonds blinging, I hear the angels singing,
the gates of heaven swinging, open up and let me in.
Chorus x 1

Home to the promissed land, open up the gate and let me in,
so tired of this struggle against the wind, can't go no further back and then,
let me rest my head, and catch my breath, the world is so cold I caught my death,
been running, and running, I can't run no more, drop to my knees, and rise above this,
heartache, just too much pain to pardon, and heaven awaits a poor soul, my mortal coil, just a bag of bones that you can bring me down low,
and give me my Georgia sun, the land I've known and I come from,
and I'm leaving, never to return,
going to talk that walk, and leave this world.

Chorus x 3
