Over the Next Hill We'll Be Home

By the way the land is layin?

I think I?d be safe in sayin?

That over the next hill we?ll be homeIt?s a straight and narrow highway

No detours and no byways

And over the next hill we?ll be homeFrom the prophets I've been hearin?

I would say the end is nearin?

For I see familiar landmarks all alongBy the dreams that I've been dreamin?

There will come a great redeemin?

And over the next hill we?ll be homeBy the turn the tide is takin'

I would say there's no mistakin?

That over the next hill we?ll be homethere's a place that we are nearin?

That so many have been fearin?

And over the next hill we?ll be homeWhen we get there we're all hopin?

That we?ll find the gate is open

And there'll be a refuge from the comin? stormFor the way?s been long and weary

But at last the end is nearin?

And over the next hill we?ll be home
