Letra de Mercy Railroad

Dear child of mine
You may never get this letter
I'm full of sorrow
But I had to get you back
Scared I believe
I put you on this road to freedom
Far from Virginia
On the rail underground
Cloaked by the rain
That whispered there is just room for the baby
So before one tear could fall
You were in a stranger's arms
Vanished with the wind
Carried north to Mason, Dixon
Just before they found me
And laid open all my scars
By now the sun is shining
You've surely found a better place
Brokеn all the chains around your soul
But don't, don't you worry
A ticket home is in my hand
To ridе heaven's mercy railroad
So blow whistle blow
Cause when I cross the river Jordan
I'm going to find freedom of my own
I'm nearing my journeys end
The will to strain and carry on
Past the troubled waters
Rising since that night
Just one moment
I see a tunnel thats coming fast
Darkness surrounds me
But soon their will be light
By now the sun is shining
You've surely found a better place
Broken all the chains around your soul
But don't, don't you worry
A ticket home is in my hand
To ride heaven's mercy railroad
So blow whistle blow
Cause when I cross the river Jordan
I'm going to find freedom
So blow whistle blow
Cause when I cross the river Jordan
I'm going to find freedom
So blow whistle blow
Cause when I cross the river Jordan
I'm going to find freedom of my own
Ticket home is in my hand
I can see my journeys end
I'm going to find freedom of my own
