Pokey LaFarge
Long for the Heaven I Seek
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I strain to hear Heaven's bells rings
But I'm tired of waitin' for the angels to sing

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
My eyes are on you, I know right where you're at
But my body's in chains, the world's holdin' me back

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Ooh
