I had a dream one night.
I dreamed that I went home to live with Jesus.
And when I got there,
one of the first faces that I saw was mama's face.
And you know, I began to sing a song
that I never sung in my life.
Yes, I did.
And my song was,
♪ Hello,
mother.
Hello, mother.
♪
♪ I done made it over.
I made it over.
♪
♪ Hello,
mother.
Hello, mother.
♪
♪ I done made it over.
I made it over.
♪
But sometimes,
♪ I had to cry.
♪
But he wiped the tears from my eyes.
And I made it over.
And I'm all right now.
Hello,
mother.
I done made it over.
I had to give up the right for love sometimes.
But I made it over.
But sometimes,
I had to cry.
But he wiped the tears from my eyes.
I made it over.
And I'm all right now.
Hello,
mother.
I done made it over.
I made it over.
Sometimes I felt burned down on the way.
But I made it over.
I made it over.
And just like you told me,
sometimes,
I had to cry.
Sometimes,
I had to cry.
I didn't know which way to turn.
I had to cry.
But I kept on trying.
I had to cry.
To sing God's praises.
I had to cry.
Sometimes, the enemies.
I had to cry.
Was all the way around me.
I had to cry.
But I didn't let that disturb me.
I had to cry.
Because I always knew that it wouldn't be easy.
I had to cry.
So I kept on singing.
I had to cry.
And I kept on crying.
I had to cry.
Sometimes,
pains.
I had to cry.
Was all in my body.
I had to cry.
But I kept on believing.
I had to cry.
That Jesus would make a way for me.
I had to cry.
Every once in a while.
I had to cry.
I had to bow down on my knees sometimes.
I had to cry.
Sometimes early in the morning.
I had to cry.
Sometimes late in the midnight hours.
I had to cry.
But finally,
I made it.
I made it over.
I made it.
I made it over.
I made it.
I made it over.
I'm alright now.
