Soon as I get home (I’ll Tell the Story)
Mama--
as soon as I get to you, I'll tell you all about my troubles.
As soon as I get home. It seems so far away, and you seem so distant-- but I wait for the day where I can tell you about my life, as it was.
I'll tell you of the cancer, I'll tell you of my first love, I'll tell you of my pain, I'll tell you of my joy, I'll tell you of my heart and my soul.
I'll tell you of my marriage, I'll tell you of my children! I'll tell you of my desires! I'll tell you of my tears! Mama!
When I get Home! I'll tell you of the victories! I'll tell you of the failures! I'll sit at your feet and while you listen, I'll tell you my favorite song!
Mama! Why is Home so far? Your call is near my heart.
When the Crown of Eternity dons me new Life, and I join the chorus of my ancestors! I'll tell the story! I'll tell you the story as soon as I reach
Home. Mama.
