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 wanna go back again
been so long i’m living till then
cause i’ve been to canaan
and ah 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 wanna go back again
been so long
i’m living till then
cause i’ve been to canaan
and ah i won’t rest until 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 wanna go back again
been so long i’m living till then
cause i’ve been to canaan
and ah i won’t rest until i go back again
i’ve been to canaan
and ah i won’t rest until i go back again
