Far From Home

I was raised in a bad city
With some freaks hanging around with me
Talking about war the birds and bees
Who would fly in the windy breeze
Slowly dying and the lands are emptied
Of people real wise like Jesus
Troubles in my head they start to shift me
To a desert this is what I believe

Chorus

Let me see the world from a mountain top
For I know love is a gift from God
Are you happy with the battle you fought
Or did you break down before you got what you sought
Is this world everything that I need
Do I long to escape be free
Back to home for eternity
Its only true seekers who are made to lead

So don’t order me across the border
Think that you can control her
I belong to the lord for the Lord I holler
The fallen call on Jehovah

People burn down the empire
Let it bun after you set on fire
Flames rise up and then get even higher
Do we really know what it is we desire
I don’t need this worldly world
Open up your eyes if you know what you heard
When you realise that the lies don’t work
And there is power in the blood

Chorus

Jesus when you call on the name
Once then twice and you’re never the same
Place me high above the decaying plains
Of this dream that will drive you sane
Playing games with my heart and a soul
With my old bones left to rot in a hole
Until I can understand the story unfold
About the one who came to make our lives whole

Over to a place I have never been, far away from home
So don’t bother to call me sister or brother
If you don’t want to hold my hand – through the storm
So don’t order me across the border think that you can control her
I belong to the Lord for the Lord for the Lord I holler, the fallen call on Jehovah
