Take me Away

Father take me away
To a higher place
That is what I pray
Keep me in your warm embrace

Earth is to cold
Even though tempatures keep rising
My mind has been sold
I am not thriving

My body is tired
But when is it not
I have been wrong wired
But lord knows I have fought

Father take me far away
To a higher place
There I will stay
when I leave the world give me grace
