"It's My Turn"

One day I'm going away
to the Maker who made me
Hallelujah Jesus!
Locked up inside of me
I remember when we use to
laugh; I remember when we
use to cry; so don't you cry,
oh don't you cry;
it's my turn
so just let me go I have all
your memories so when I go just
say goodbye
Hallelujah Jesus!
Let me go.

Written by his mother the
late Sally Ann Keys
