Down here, I'm just a feather in the wind
Blown 'round, never knowin' how lost I've been
A speck of dust, a simple grain of sand
The reasons why I'm here's bigger than I am

Someday, I'll be free
Of all the struggles and troubles that burden me
Someday, I'll be good and gone
Washed in the blood, smooth and clean as a riverstone
I'll have a pair of unbroken wings of my own
Someday, I'll finally be heaven sweet home

I'll be ready when the good lord calls my name
Just like the last ribbon of smoke on a candle flame
Now don't you cry, don't waste them tears on me
'Cause where I'm going's up there where the angels sing

Someday, I'll be free
Of all the struggles and troubles that burden me
Someday, I'll be good and gone
Washed in the blood, smooth and clean as a riverstone
I'll have a pair of unbroken wings of my own
Someday, I'll finally be heaven sweet home

Heaven sweet home
Heaven sweet home

Someday, I'll be free (I'll be free)
Of all the struggles and troubles that burden me (that burden me)
Someday, I'll be good and gone (good and gone)
Washed in the blood, smooth and clean as a riverstone (as a riverstone)
That old mountain I can rest my worries on
Someday, I'll finally be heaven sweet home
