Pokey LaFarge - Long for the Heaven I Seek Lyrics

[Verse 1]I've been sent out like a sheep among wolvesSnakes on the trail, broken wings of a doveI tried to push back the sunset and got burnedLight shines from the moon 'til darkness returns[Pre-Chorus]I strain to hear Heaven's bells ringsBut I'm tired of waitin' for the angels to sing[Chorus]Oh, Lord, take me homeI wanna go homeThere's got to be a home for you and meOh, I'm burdened by stressAnd I just want to restI'm lost in the shadows, searchin' for peaceI long for the Heaven I seekI long for the Heaven I seek[Verse 2]I'm standing still to keep from drifting awayBut I sowed my seeds in a field of clayI've been left stranded by the side of the roadAnd I become scattered every time the wind blows[Pre-Chorus]My eyes are on you, I know right where you're atBut my body's in chains, the world's holdin' me back[Chorus]Oh, Lord, take me homeI wanna go homeThere's got to be a home for you and meOh, I'm burdened by stressAnd I just want to restI'm lost in the shadows, searchin' for peaceI long for the Heaven I seekI long for the Heaven I seek[Instrumental Bridge][Chorus]Oh, Lord, take me homeI wanna go homeThere's got to be a home for you and meOh, I'm burdened by stressAnd I just want to restI'm lost in the shadows, searchin' for peaceI long for the Heaven I seekI long for the Heaven I seek[Outro]Ooh
