Oh, they say that I'm long gone

Oh, they say that I'm long gone

But I know and see my world keeps haunting me

So I know, I ain't long gone

Oh, they say I lost my song

Oh, they say I lost my song

But I know, and I sing, all my life in my melody

So I know, I got my song

Oh, they say it's my last dawn

Oh, they say it's my last dawn

But I know where I'll be, in the spirit world so sweet

So I know, this ain't my last dawn

They try to tell me that God is on their side

They try to tell me that their worth the fight

Try to tell me this is eternal night

But I know the gates will open wide

They try to tell me this is for heaven's sake

They try to tell me I am a sinning shame

Try to tell me I am the Lord's mistake

But I know I will not break

Oh, they say that I'm long gone

Oh, they say that I'm long gone

But I know like waves on the sea, never again will I roam free

So I know, I ain't long gone
