Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthWhere every son and daughter will know their worthWhere all of the streets resound with thunderous joyOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthOh, the wars we haven't wonOh, the songs we've left unsungOh, the dreams we haven't seenThe borderlinesAnd here we are between all of our hopes and fearsChasin' down these stolеn yearsReachin' out for hands unseenOn the bordеrline, the borderlineOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthWhere every son and daughter would know their worthWhere all of the streets resound with thunderous joyOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthJesus' name still on her tongueQuestions buried in her lungs"Oh, my father, why my son? "The borderlines, the borderlinesOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthWhere every son and daughter will know their worthWhere all of the streets resound with thunderous joyOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthI had a dream that I finally saw your faceDancin' in the arms of graceDancin' through the joy and painOn the borderlines, the borderlinesOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthWhere every son and daughter will know their worthWhere all of the streets resound with thunderous joyOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called EarthOh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
