I’m On My Way

[Verse 1]
Lord, it’s an uphill journey (on my way)
It’s an uphill journey (on my way)
Lord, it’s an uphill journey (on my way)
They’re expecting me in heaven and I’m on my way

[Verse 2]
I’m crying sometimes (on my way)
I have to steal away by myself and cry sometimes
(But I’m on my way)
It gets so hard, I have to cry sometimes, lord (on my way)
They’re expecting me in heaven
Lord knows, I’m on my way

[Interlude]
Everytime (I’m on my way)
I hear (I’m on my way)
The church bells (I’m on my way)
As they begin to toll (I’m on my way)
When I see people going lost (I’m on my way)
Weeping and wailing (I’m on my way)
Somebody (I’m on my way)
Going home (I’m on my way)
I stood in the graveyard (I’m on my way)
I had to bury my mothеr (I’m on my way)
I stood there and I cried
But I promisеd to meet her (I’m on my way)
In that sweet by and by (I’m on my way)
She’s expecting me (expecting me in heaven), she’s
And I’m on my way

[Verse 3]
Tell her then (on my way)
Tell everybody I know in heaven (that I’m on my way)
Tell my saviour I’m on my way (that I’m on my way)
They’re expecting me in heaven, lord I’m on my way

[Outro]
Tell that great man from Atlanta (expecting me in heaven)
I’m coming (I’m on my way)
Tell that senator from Boston (expecting me in heaven)
That I’m coming (I’m on my way)
I’m onnnnnn my wayyyyyy
