[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from home
A long way from home
[Verse 2]
(Oh, yes, oh, yes)
(Lord)
Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptation's sword
Oh, won't you tell me, where could I go but to the Lord?
[Verse 3]
Where could I go?
Oh, where could I go?
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Oh, Lord, I'm needing a friend to save me in the end
Oh, won't you tell me, where could I go but to the Lord?
Oh, won't you tell me, where could I go but to the Lord?
[Verse 4]
Up above my head (Up above my head)
There is music in the air (There is a music, yeah)
Up above my head (Up above my head)
There is music in the air (There is a music, yeah)
Up above my head (Up above, over my head)
There is music in the air (There's a sweet, sweet music in the air)
And I really do believe (Really do believe)
I really do believe (Really do believe)
Really do believe there's a Heaven somewhere
(There is a Heaven somewhere)
[Verse 5]
(Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 6]
There's a Heaven somewhere
(Up, up above my head)
(Up above my, above my head)
[Verse 7]
I wanna soothe my heart, I wanna ease my mind
I wanna move my shoes and see what I can find
I wanna stand up tall and open up my eyes
I wanna reach out my hand until I'm touchin' the skies
I was a poor lost lamb in a deep dark hole
But now I've found that light that's gonna save my soul
[Verse 8]
I used to drink, I used to smoke
I used to smoke, drink, and dance the hoochy-coo
I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink and dance the hoochy-coo
Oh, oh yeah
But now I'm standing on this corner prayin' for me and you
I-I-I
[Verse 9]
That's why I'm saved (Saved), I'm saved (Saved)
People, let me tell you 'bout a-kingdom come
You know I'm saved (Saved), I'm saved (Saved)
Well, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army, beatin' on that big bass drum
[Verse 10]
I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to fuss, cuss, boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss and cuss and fuss and cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
I-I-I
But now I'm standin' on this corner, I know right from wrong
[Verse 11]
That's why I'm saved (Saved), I'm saved (Saved)
People let me tell you 'bout a-kingdom come
You know I'm saved (Saved), I'm saved (Saved)
Well, now I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army, beatin' on that big bass drum
[Verse 12]
I used to lie, I used to cheat
I used, lie, cheat, step on people's feet
I sued to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and step on people's feet
I-I-I, oh-oh yeah
But now I'm steppin' on to glory, salvation in my beat
[Verse 13]
Because I'm saved, I'm saved
People, let me tell you 'bout a-kingdom come
I am saved, I am saved
Well, now I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army, beatin' on that big bass drum
I-I-I-I-I-I
I'm in that soul savin' army, beatin' on that big bass drum
Oh-oh yeah
[Verse 14]
I'm saved (I'm saved), I'm saved (I'm saved)
I'm saved (I'm saved), I'm saved (I'm saved)
I'm saved, oh, yeah
I'm saved (I'm saved), yes, I'm saved (I'm saved)
Oh-ooh, oh, yeah, I'm saved, I'm saved
[Verse 15]
That's why I'm saved, I'm saved
Yes, I'm saved, I'm saved
I'm saved, oh, yeah
I'm saved, yes, I'm saved
Oh-ooh, oh, yeah, I'm saved, I'm saved
[Verse 16]
Because I'm saved, I am saved
Oh, people, let me tell you 'bout a-kingdom come
You know I'm saved, I'm saved
Well now, I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm saved (I'm saved), I'm saved (I'm saved)
I'm saved
[Verse 17]
I said I'm saved
Yeah, I'm saved
Da-da-da
Oh, yeah
