A mother cries, in a worn out two room house
Her only son is leavin, but she's glad He's gettin out
He sits her down, says you deserve a better life
I'm gonna make one for us, cross my heart and hope to die
I'll be back and everyone will know my name
Next time you lay eyes on me things won't be the same
Rest assured every word I say is true
I'm goin to a better place
But I promise you, I'll be back
He had a voice like no one had ever heard
People came from miles around, hung on to every word
But there were those, He could not make believe
They called Him names and laughed at Him
And He said wait and see
I'll be back and everyone will know my name
Next time you lay eyes on me things won't be the same
Rest assured every word I say is true
I'm goin to a better place
But I promise you, I'll be back
They say He walked up that hill at Calvary
And not even the weight of the world
Could bring Him to His knees
His Father's son, He was born to pay the cost
And everybody heard it as they nailed Him to the cross
He said
I'll be back and everyone will know my name
Next time you lay eyes on me will you feel ashamed
Rest assured every word I say is true
I'll take you to a better place
But I promise you, I'll be back
