Long for the Heaven I Seek Songtext
von Pokey LaFarge

I′ve been sent out like a sheep among wolves
Snakes on the trail, broken wings of a dove
I tried to push back the sunset and got burned
Light shines from the moon 'til darkness returns

I strain to hear Heaven′s bells rings
But I'm tired of waitin' for the angels to sing

Oh, Lord, take me home
I wanna go home
There′s got to be a home for you and me
Oh, I′m burdened by stress
And I just want to rest
I'm lost in the shadows, searchin′ for peace
I long for the Heaven I seek
I long for the Heaven I seek

I'm standing still to keep from drifting away
But I sowed my seeds in a field of clay
I′ve been left stranded by the side of the road
And I become scattered every time the wind blows


My eyes are on you, I know right where you're at
But my body′s in chains, the world's holdin' me back

Oh, Lord, take me home
I wanna go home
There′s got to be a home for you and me
Oh, I′m burdened by stress
And I just want to rest
I'm lost in the shadows, searchin′ for peace
I long for the Heaven I seek
I long for the Heaven I seek


Ooooohhh
Ooooohhh
Ooooohhh
Ooooohhh
Oh, Lord, take me home
I wanna go home
There's got to be a home for you and me
Oh, I′m burdened by stress
And I just want to rest
I'm lost in the shadows, searchin′ for peace
I long for the Heaven I seek
I long for the Heaven I seek

Ooh
