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 dman tuff?   I don't know where I can go   To let these ghosts out of my skull   My grandmas past, my brothers gone   I never at once felt so 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      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   Wlak 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 ahd 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      Now I see the importance of history   Why 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 cuz 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
