Mavis Staples - Godspeed Lyrics

Mavis Staples Lyrics

"Godspeed"
(originally by Frank Ocean)

I will always love you
How I do
Let go of a prayer for you
Just a sweet word
The table is prepared for you

Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won't move

I'll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It's a free world
You look down on where you came from, yeah
Sometimes
But you'll always have this place to call home
Always
Always
Always

This love will keep us through blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us through blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us through blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us through blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us through blinding of the eyes
