Heard about the lonely day
When Jesus had to die
It must've broke his mother's heart
The tears she must've cried
Though she know the plan devine
To steal her precious Son
It only seemed like yesterday
In a stable He was born

(Chorus)
It must have been a trail of tears
From the cross to the place
Where they laid Him down to rest
In a cold and lonely grave
As a stone rolled to the door
Sealed the Prince of life within
It must have felt just like the end
There must have been a trail of tears

Mary knew the day would come
She'd have to say goodbye
Her Son was on a mission
For which He'd give His life
The angel's saw redemption
Being carried out to men
Dying there on Calvary
The sacrificial Lamb

CHORUS
TAG: It must have been a trail of tears (x2)
