Up as a place we call heaven
It’s known as our second home
And Otis Redding now belong
Up, although you’re gone so far but so near you
And in our heart, Otis we all love you dear
Oh, sleep on, Otis Redding sleep on
Sleep on, take your rest, I know that God loves you best
You love with all your heart and soul
But now to God, Otis you set your goal
Oh, I wanna thank you for bring me Through
And all the wonderful things that you intend me to do
Oh, as you lay so very low
I swear all the thunder will carry on
Otis sleep on and take your rest
Oh, sleep on, I got to go now
But you just sleep on, sleep on
Otis just you take your rest
Oh, sleep on, I swear to you I will carry on
