Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God
I want to meet my mother
I want to meet my mother
I want to meet my mother
Going home to live with God
Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God
I want to meet my sister
I want to meet my sister
I want to meet my sister
Going home to live with God
Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
The troubles of the world
Soon I will be done with the troubles of the world
Going home to live with God
