| [00:12.81] |
God of my fathers |
| [00:15.37] |
Huddled in the harbor |
| [00:17.19] |
|
| [00:18.38] |
Every man an ocean from his home |
| [00:21.44] |
|
| [00:23.39] |
Their captors could not keep them |
| [00:26.35] |
When they heard the drums of freedom |
| [00:29.55] |
The dream of a kingdom |
| [00:31.86] |
In a land they've never known |
| [00:34.60] |
|
| [00:35.40] |
And God of my fathers |
| [00:38.02] |
Strangers in this country |
| [00:40.58] |
|
| [00:41.59] |
Pilgrims on these dusty roads |
| [00:44.90] |
|
| [00:47.07] |
Across the great plains |
| [00:49.33] |
In the bellies of the steel trains |
| [00:52.74] |
To stake a new claim |
| [00:54.62] |
In that wilderness of hope |
| [00:57.31] |
|
| [00:58.42] |
Like my fathers I am looking for a home |
| [01:02.85] |
|
| [01:03.54] |
Looking for a home beyond the sea |
| [01:07.17] |
|
| [01:09.40] |
So be my God and guide me |
| [01:11.72] |
Till I lie beneath the hills |
| [01:14.09] |
|
| [01:15.84] |
Then let the great God of my fathers |
| [01:18.46] |
Be the great God of my children still |
| [01:22.67] |
|
| [01:34.06] |
God of my grandfathers |
| [01:36.62] |
Gone these many years now |
| [01:39.94] |
I guess they're shining like the sun |
| [01:43.36] |
|
| [01:45.62] |
And I envision them |
| [01:48.12] |
Grinning at the finish |
| [01:50.31] |
And they smile and they smile, |
| [01:53.14] |
'Cause they love to see me run |
| [01:55.69] |
|
| [01:57.31] |
Like my fathers I am looking for a home |
| [02:01.49] |
|
| [02:02.23] |
Looking for a home beyond the sea |
| [02:05.67] |
|
| [02:07.86] |
So be my God and guide me |
| [02:10.29] |
Till I lie beneath the hills |
| [02:12.79] |
|
| [02:14.16] |
Then let the great God of my fathers |
| [02:17.47] |
Be the great God of my children still |
| [02:22.85] |
|
| [02:36.58] |
Now we're counting stars and counting sand |
| [02:40.56] |
Little feet and little hands |
| [02:43.18] |
|
| [02:44.13] |
We're counting joys |
| [02:45.68] |
|
| [02:48.24] |
We pray you'll know them |
| [02:50.74] |
As you knew us when you wove us |
| [02:53.48] |
|
| [02:54.42] |
As you hold us |
| [02:56.42] |
Hold them, please hold them |
| [02:59.91] |
Like their father, they are looking for a home |
| [03:04.25] |
|
| [03:05.19] |
Looking for a home beyond the sea |
| [03:08.51] |
|
| [03:10.64] |
So be their God and guide them |
| [03:13.05] |
Till they lie beneath these hills |
| [03:15.93] |
|
| [03:17.12] |
And let the great God of their father |
| [03:20.36] |
Be the great God of their children |
| [03:22.74] |
|
| [03:23.30] |
Let the great God of my fathers |
| [03:25.48] |
|
| [03:26.04] |
Be the great God of my children still |
| [03:30.72] |
|
