Soon by Thea Gilmore Lyrics

Oh my Brother oh my Brother
Come on and take my hand
Lets pack what's left
From loss and theft
And get out while we can

Oh my Father oh my Father
This is the only way
This isn't our home
Its just blood and bone
You know that we can't stay

I've got a ticket to a promised land
Somewhere to bind our wounds
Somewhere the folks are bound to understand
I swear we'll be there soon

Oh my Daughter oh my Daughter
Darling please don't cry
Whether God or man's
This is the work of hands
Bigger than you or I
Oh my Mother oh my Mother
I know you think I'm wrong
But I've paid the fare
The sea will get us there
To somewhere we belong

I've got a ticket to a promised land
Somewhere to bind our wounds
Somewhere the folks are bound to understand
I swear we'll be there soon
