By the way, the land is laying I think I'd be safe in saying That over the next hill we'll be home It's a straight and narrow highway No detours, no byways And over the next hill we'll be home From the prophets I've been hearing I would say the end is nearing For I see familiar landmarks all along (all along) By the dreams that I've been dreaming There will come a great redeeming And over the next hill we'll be home By the turn the tide is taking I would say there's no mistaking That over the next hill we'll be home There's a place that we are nearing That so many have been fearing And over the next hill we'll be home When we get there, we'll be knowing That we'll find the gate is open And there'll be a refuge from the coming storm For the way's been long and weary But at last the end is nearing And over the next hill we'll be home For the way's been long and weary But at last the end is nearing And over the next hill we'll be home Yes, over the next hill we'll be home
