They announced: "A dead man's walk!"
Your faced looked tired
but you're eyes were calm
one step towards the end
towards the banks of Jordan
You don't need these restraints
You're ready for your life
The doors swung wide
your feet hung low
sweet chariots
take me home
Home to where his life beings
on the other side of Jordan
where freedom lives
and death no sting
in the promise land
Someone said on your last day
witnesses heard you say
oh to see
her face again
standing by the banks of Jordan
holy water take a tired man
to the other side
