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 'til then 'Cause I've been to Canaan and I 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 'til then 'Cause I've been to Canaan and I I won't rest until I go back again Oh, I wanna 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 wanna go back again Been so long, I'm living 'til then I've been to Canaan and I I won't rest until I go back again I've been to Canaan and I I won't rest until I go back again
