Going Home

I'm going home, I'm going home
North Carolina is cryin' in my soul
Creator, I'm reaching out to You
Tell them on the other side that they are alive within my soul

Return their prayers that run through my veins
Return the land and heal her pain, the hidden truth
Tell the world the blues where it comes from

I'm going home, going home
North Carolina is cryin' in my soul
Creator, I'm reachin' out to You
Tell them on the other side that they are alive within my soul

Where the Neuse river runs through a land
Where my great-grandmother sleeps, under the earth
Under the Earth, blood of Skarura nation was free
I hear Nigerian chains they say are buried real deep
Tobacco fields, trail of tears, stolen people on stolen land

I'm going home, going home
North Carolina is cryin' in my soul
Creator, I'm reachin' out to You
Tell them that I know
