PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I saw a trail of tears, leading across the way

I heard a muffled cry, and it was just another day

I searched for a bright light to save my troubled soul

I looked inside my heart and found a ten foot hole



And I can't quite understand

I can't quite understand



why it's so cold

out here in the world

why it's so cold

out here in the world



I read a headline, found on page four

I mourned the news of one-hundred thousand more

I felt the apathy across this troubled land

I lost the difference between me and that man



And I can't quite understand

I can't quite understand



why it's so cold

out here in the world

why it's so cold

out here in the world

why it's so cold

out here in the world

it's so cold

out here in the world



take me home, lord

take me home

take me home, lord

take me home

take me home, oh take me home

my sweet, sweet lord

take me home, take me home

take me home

my sweet lord, oh my sweet lord

take me home

take me, oh take me, take me home

take me, oh take me, take me home

my lord, oh sweet lord

take me home
