Somewhere Around the Throne

This year we had our family reunion and I went back home

Went back to some of the places that I visited as a child

When I went by some of my relatives' houses

They took me to the little church

Where I sang my first song, in the back is a cemetery

I went out there and saw the places

Where some of my loved ones, where they laid

Some of the name was erased but in the spot was still there

And I asked him I said where's that old house that we used to live in?

We even went by that old house

It wasn't there no more but the site and the spot is still there

And when I sing this song

I think about when I go back home sometime

I believe I'll sing it for you tonight listen

I went through the house where I used to live

The grass had grown up and covered up the door

And you know, someone across the street asked me who do you seek?

And he said, no one, no one lived there anymore, ooh

Listen

Then I went to the church house where I used to go

That old preacher was still there and he met me at the door

You know what he said to me?

I know who you are

This is what he said to me

And I know who you're looking for

This is what he told me

He said, they

They don't come here me anymore, ooh

I said where are they?

They are somewhere around through

Oh God! Let me see your hands if you got somebody

Somewhere around through

Oh God, I won't give up as I hear, I'll keep searching

Can't search it alone, I know one day

One day, I'll find them

For they are somewhere around

Oh, oh! Oooh

They are somewhere around through

Oh God! Let me see your hands if you got somebody

Somewhere around through

Oh God, don't you all give up

Keep on searching

Don't stop searching, I believe in one day

One day, I'll find them

For they are somewhere around

Let me see somebody's hand in the air

Argh-Argh!

They are somewhere around through

Oh God! Let me see your hands again, if you got somebody

Somewhere around through

Oh-oh God, don't you all give up

Keep on searching

Keep searching

Oh Lord, one day I'll find them

For they are somewhere around the fold (yeah) through
