Down by the lake of Mississippi
A boy was born poor and abandoned
And as he walk you could hear him yearning

For a home and he prays

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


Heaven light a way for a fallen
Let me ease the pain from my mother

But he feels the deception in his head

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


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


Heaven light a way for a fallen
Let me ease the pain from my mother

But he feels the deception in his head

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
