Lyrics

Oh father of my fathers
Can?t you see how far I?ve come
Down the road that bears your name
Oh mother of my mothers
Won?t you tell your only son
That these tears i?ve cried
Lord, they are not cried in vain

My work gets so hard
Lord, and the day is long
And i try, yes I try to do my best
And I find the strength
And the courage to carry on
For I know in my heart
Someday I Will Take My Rest

Someday
troubles be far behind
Someday
Gonna ease this worried mind
Someday there?ll be no more heartache
And sorrow for me
Now I?m not, not afraid to rise and face the test
I am going to take my rest
Oh, take my rest
