Jason Isbell - Alabama Sky lyrics

Lord, take me home
Take me home, but not today

I’m lost, but I’m not alone
I’m not alone,  help me find a way

I’ve made promises to you I’ve failed to keep
Found myself sinning in my sleep
Lonely nights when I thought you’d
Give up on me and then I’d fall down on my
Knees and there you’d be
Lord, make me strong
Make strong enough to take my brothers hand

Stand for however long
However long it takes to
See the promised land

Southern breeze don’t feel like
Anything to me i don’t remember feeling free
But, I’ve seen the evening sun
Come dancing through the trees
And I thought that Alabama sky
Was just for me

Lord, take me home
Take me home, but not today

I’m lost, but I’m not alone
I’m not alone, help me find a way

I’ve forgiven those who lied
And cursed my name
I pray my brothers do the same
My lady stayed beside me
Patient through the pain
And I saw sadness in her eyes but never shame

Lord, let them see
Let them see the heart that
Beats behind my skin

Lord, set me free
Set me free so you can do the same for them
