Tennessee (Tennessee)

[Verse 1: Speech]
Lord, I've really been real stressed
Down and out, losing ground
Although I am Black and proud
Problems got me pessimistic
Brothers and sisters keep messin' up
Why does it have to be so damn tough?
I don't know where I can go
To let these ghosts out of my skull
My grandma's passed, my brother's gone
I never at once felt so alone
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel
Not just my spare tire (home)
But Lord I ask you (home)
To be my guiding force and truth (home)
For some strange reason it had to be (home)
He guided me to Tennessee (home)

[Chorus: Speech | Dionne Farris]
Take me to another place (Oh)
Take me to another land (Oh)
Make me forget all that hurts me (Oh)
Let me understand your plan (Yeah)
Take me to another place (Oh)
Take me to another land (Oh)
Make me forget all that hurts me (Oh)
Let me understand your plan (Yeah)
