Dear Child of mine, you may never get this letter
I'm full of sorrow, but I had to get you out
Scared but believed I put you on the road to freedom
Far from Virginia on the rail underground
Cloaked by the rain they whispered there's just room for the baby
So before one tear could fall you were in a strangers arms
Vanished with the wind carried north to Mason-Dixon
Just before they found me and laid open all my scars
By now the sun is shinning
You've surely found a better place
And broken all the chains around you soul
But don't don't you worry
A ticket home is in my hand
To ride heaven's Mercy Railroad
So blow whistle blow
When I cross the river Jorden
I'm gonna find a freedom of my own
I'm near the journey's end, the wheels strain to carry on
Passed the troubled waters rising since that night
But just around a bend, I see a tunnel its coming fast
Darkness surrounds me but soon there will be light.
