Janis Ian
The Last Great Place
[Verse 1]
Time has come
To be with the moon and sun
Here at the edge of the sky
Shake off this city and fly
Mmm, lost so long
Can't find where I belong
I'm empty, tied to the ground
[Chorus]
Tear down the walls
Let me stand in the heart of the land
I want to breathe it and see it
And touch it whenever I can
'Cause it's the last great place (It's the last great place)
It's the last great place to stand
The heart of the land
[Verse 2]
Oh my soul
Cannot believe what I'm told
I've heard the river and sky
Are dying to keep my alive
I'm hungry for mercy
My body can't be denied
[Chorus]
Tear down the walls
Let me stand in the heart of the land
I want to breathe it and see it
And touch it whenever I can
'Cause it's the last great place (It's the last great place)
It's just the last great place to stand
The heart of the land
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Tear down the walls
Let me stand in the heart of the land
I want to breathe it and see it
And touch it whenever I can
'Cause it's the last great place (It's the last great place)
It's the last great place to stand
The heart of the land
Tear down the walls
Let me stand in the heart of the land
I want to breathe it and see it
And touch it whenever I can
It's the last (Tear down the walls) great place
(It's the last great place)
It's just the (Tear down the walls) last great place to stand
