Lyrics

Gates of Graceland
Written by Doanld Ray Fischer

I waws standing at the gates of the king all alone
Feeling his pain and woe
Such a gilded cage of fame and gold
It made me say a prayer for his soul

Just to fly away to his mother’s arms
And the peace he’d never known
Just to fly away to a better place
And the love he yearned for so

So many times, he must have wept in pain
With no one to understand
Even in a crowd to feel so all alone
With no one to lend a helping hand

Just to fly away from this troubled world
To a peace he’d never known
Just to fly away where his loved ones wait
And the love he yearned for so

Well, I heard a voice say take a walk with me
Let go and hold on to my hand
Leet all your troubles simple fade away
And walk with me into the Promise Land

Last night I dreamed the angels beckoned me
Standing on a stairway of light
With voices so sweet the tears they rolled down my cheeks
Saying everything will be all right

Just to fly away from this troubled world
To a peace we’ve never known
Just to fly away where our loved ones wait
And the love we’ve longed for so
