Homeland

It's a city called, Homeland,
 I can hear you calling me.
 O my homeland,
 O how sweet it's goin' be.
 Just to see you,
 And to stand upon your shore.
 You know I'll live there, forevermore.
 You beckoned to my loved ones,
 And how my tears did fall.
 And though I tried, I could not hide,
 How it hurt to see them go.
 But now I know that they left this world,
 And just moved to a much better place.
 And one day you will call me too,
 I will see them face to face.
 It's a city called, Homeland,
 I can hear you calling me.
 O my homeland,
 O how sweet it's goin' be.
 Just to see you,
 And to stand upon your shore.
 You know I'll live there, forevermore.
 This old world is a battlefield,
 And I'm tired of fightin' here below.
 Heaven waits for the pure and faithful.
 Oh, how I long to go.
 I can leave it all without a backward glance,
 Settle down in a mansion grand.
 And there I'll be for eternity,
 In a city built by God's hands.
 It's a city called, Homeland,
 I can hear you calling me.
 O my homeland,
 O how sweet it's goin' be.
 Just to see you,
 And to stand upon your shore.
 You know I'll live there, forevermore.
 It's a city called, Homeland,
 I can hear you calling me.
 O my homeland,
 O how sweet it's goin' be.
 Just to see you,
 And to stand upon your shore.
 You know I'll live there, forevermore.
 City called, Homeland.
