I was five years old
They came and took my daddy away
Momma said he\'ll be back home a year from today
I know you\'re young but I hope you understand
These are the kind of things that happen to a man
I see her talkin\' but I can\'t hear nothin\'
Sweet salvation cover me
Take me where I long to be
Pick me up and carry me
Oh I need your love
It�s such a long way home
Even though I fall sometimes
Nothin\' here can change my mind
Lord I need your love
It�s such a long way home
Daddy cried
Boy you\'d better come home right now
Momma\'s gone
Sickness took her down
I know you\'re young
But I hope you understand
these are the kind of things that happen to a man
I see him talkin\' but I don\'t hear nothin\'
Lookin\' round but I can\'t see
I touch fear but I feel nothin\'
Sweet salvation cover me
All this pain locked up inside of me
On my knees I prayed you\'d set me free
I know you hurt
But I really do understand
I\'m the one who held your pain when I became a man
Speak to me so I hear something
turn my eyes so I can see
You touch fear and I feel something
Sweet salvation cover me
