C
Down by the lake of Mississippi
Dm
A boy was born poor and abandoned
Em Am
And as he walk you could hear him yearning
Dm G
For a home and he prays
C
And by the fields he sang for rising
Dm
All for his faith and memorizing
Em Am
All of the songs his mother learned
Dm G
From the lord himself
Chorus:
F C C G
Heaven light a way for a fallen
F C
Let me ease the pain from my mother
Dm G
But he feels the deception in his head
C
Another day was born and rising
Dm
And on the stool the boy was trying
Em Am
To earn a coin for his mother, and hoping
Dm G
That freedom will lead her away
C
Dear little friend
I've heard your story
Dm
Please take my hand and I'll promise
Em Am
We'll find a way and we'll be fighting
Dm G
For your mother, and her wings
Heaven light a way for a fallen
Let me ease the pain from my mother
But he feels the deception in his head
F C C G
Heaven light a way for another
F C C G
Let me ease the pain for a fallen
F C Am G
We are on our way so much stronger
F C
Heaven light the way for another
Dm G
And he feels no deception in his head
