Green fields and rolling hills Room enough to do what we will Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though 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 untill 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 untill 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 But I've been to canaan and I want to go back again Been so long I'm living till then I've been to canaan and I won't rest untill I go back again I've been to canaan and I won't rest untill I go back again
