Back to Memphis
Journey to Freedom: Skylar Rogers' Soulful Odyssey in Memphis
Lyrics
I know you want me to stay here
I acknowledge your desire for me to remain here.
I know you're full of fear
I understand that you are filled with apprehension or anxiety.
I don't know what's waiting there
I'm uncertain about what awaits me in the future.
But I know there's nothing here
I am certain that there is nothing worthwhile here.
So I'm going back to Memphis
I am returning to Memphis.
Not sure what I'll find
I'm unsure about what I will discover there.
But I know that if I stay here
I believe that staying here will lead to the deterioration of my mental well-being.
That I'm bound to lose my mind
If I remain here, I am certain to lose my sanity.
When I get back to Memphis
Upon returning to Memphis, the future is unknown.
Won't know what's in store
I won't be aware of what awaits me.
The life I knew was over
The life I used to know has ended, but I am confident there is more for me.
But I know I was meant for more
I am destined for a greater purpose.
So I'm going back to Memphis
I am returning to Memphis, and this will become evident in due time.
Just you wait and see
Wait and see, I will immerse myself in music.
Gonna get lost in the music
I will lose myself in the music until my soul is liberated.
Until my soul is finally free
I have no money to my name, but I'll manage just fine.
Not a penny to my name
Despite financial challenges, I will be okay.
I'll be alright just the same
My mother raised me wisely; I won't make foolish decisions.
Mamma didn't raise no fool
I am confident that I will overcome difficulties.
I know I'll make it through
Music will empower me, and life will guide me.
And that music's gonna catch my wings
With music, I'll soar like wings, and life will embrace me.
And life's gonna find me
I'll be on the positive side of life, free from constraints.
Back on the high side and free
I'll be fine in Memphis; I am certain of it.
I'll be alright in Memphis
I have confidence that everything will be okay in Memphis.
This much I know
This much I am sure of regarding my well-being in Memphis.
I know you want me to rest
I am aware of your desire for me to rest, but I have my mother's adventurous spirit.
But I've got my mamma's gypsy soul
I am returning to Memphis without concern for what I might encounter.
So I'm going back to Memphis
Memphis will help me heal from emotional pain.
Don't care what I find
I don't care about the specifics; Memphis will heal me gradually.
I'll let Memphis heal my broken heart
Healing will occur through the power of music, one note at a time.
One note at a time
I am committed to returning to Memphis.
I'm going back to Memphis
I have a strong resolve to go back to Memphis.
I'm going back to Memphis
My determination to return to Memphis remains unwavering.
I'm going back to Memphis yeah
I am convinced that everything will be fine in Memphis.
Gonna be alright in Memphis
Despite uncertainties, I am optimistic about the outcome in Memphis.
