Where Could I Go

Blind Boys of Alabama · There Will Be a Light [2004]

There's no deals to be made with the dawn

Now I fear that our time has come and gone



They say freedom is just a place to hide

Now I'm coming to you with my arms open wide

(Oh — won't you tell me)

Where could I go to the Lord



Take a prayer with you to heaven for me

Oh — And give it to the Lord

Give it to the Lord

Cause nothing else could save a sinner

Sinner like me

Oh — But an angel's word

Just an angel's word



Now — Oh now — what is — what is too true

What is hard is much too true

Oh — and what's true Oh — is much too too hard

And now where — where could I go but to the Lord



Mama was hard on us but we could take it

And papa didn't give a damn and he couldn't fake it



They say freedom

Oh — Freedom is just an other place to hide

Now I'm coming to you with my arms open wide

(And tell me)

Where could I go — Oh — but to the Lord
