green fields and rolling hills
room enough to do what we will
sweet dreams of yestertime
are running through my mind
of a place i left behind
been so long
i can't remember when
i've been to canaan and i want to go back again
been so long
i'm living till then
'cause i've been to canaan and i won't rest until i go back again
though i'm content with myself
sometimes i long to be somewhere else
i try to do what i can
but with our day-to-day demands
we all need a promised land
and it's been so long
i can't remember when
i've been to canaan and i want to go back again
been so long
i'm living till then
'cause i've been to canaan and i won't rest until i go back again
oh
i want to be there in the wintertime
with a fireplace burning to warm me
and you to hold me when it's stormy
been so long
i can't remember when
i've been to canaan and i want to go back again
been so long
i'm living till then
'cause i've been to canaan and i won't rest until i go back again
