[Verse 1] Down by the lake of Mississippi A boy was born poor and abandoned And as he walked, you could hear him yearning For a home and he prays [Verse 2] And by the fields, he sang for rising All for his faith and memorizing All of the songs his mother learned From the Lord himself [Chorus 1] Heaven light a way for a fallen Let me ease the pain from my mother But he feels the deception in his head [Verse 3] Another day was born and rising And on the stool, the boy was trying To earn a coin for his mother, and hoping That freedom will lead her away [Verse 4] Mr. Cadillac Blood: dear little friend I've heard your story Please take my hand and I'll promise We'll find a way and we'll be fighting For your mother, and her wings [Chorus 1] Heaven light a way for a fallen Let me ease the pain from my mother But he feels the deception in his head [Instrumental] [Chorus 2] Heaven light a way for another Let me ease the pain for a fallen We are on our way so much stronger Heaven light the way for another And he feels no deception in his head
