Land Of My Sojourn - Rich Mullins[00:00:00]

Written by：Rich Mullins/Beaker[00:00:01]

And the coal trucks come a runnin'[00:00:13]

With their bellies full of coal[00:00:15]

And their big wheels a hummin'[00:00:18]

Down this road that lies open[00:00:21]

Like the soul of[00:00:24]

A woman[00:00:26]

Who hid the spies who were lookin'[00:00:27]

For the land of the milk and the honey[00:00:29]

And this road she is a woman[00:00:34]

She was made from a rib[00:00:37]

Cut from the sides of these mountains[00:00:39]

Oh these great sleeping adams[00:00:42]

Who are lonely even here in paradise[00:00:45]

Lonely for somebody to kiss them[00:00:50]

And I'll sing my song[00:00:53]

And I'll sing my song[00:00:58]

In the land of my sojourn[00:01:02]

And the lady in the harbor[00:01:07]

She still holds her torch out[00:01:09]

To those huddled masses who are[00:01:12]

Yearning for a freedom that still eludes them[00:01:15]

The immigrant's children see their brightest dreams shattered[00:01:21]

Here on the new jersey shoreline in the[00:01:28]

Greed and the glitter of those high tech casinos[00:01:32]

But some mendicants wander off into a cathedral[00:01:36]

And they stoop in the silence[00:01:42]

And there their prayers are still whispered[00:01:44]

And I'll sing their song[00:01:47]

And I'll sing their song[00:01:52]

In the land of my sojourn[00:01:55]

Nobody tells you[00:01:59]

When you get born here[00:02:02]

How much you'll come to love it[00:02:03]

And how you'll never belong here[00:02:06]

So I call you my country[00:02:09]

And I'll be lonely for my home[00:02:11]

And I wish that I could take you there with[00:02:14]

Me[00:02:18]

And down the brown brick spine of some dirty blind[00:02:25]

Alley[00:02:30]

All those drain pipes are drippin' out the last sons[00:02:30]

Of thunder[00:02:35]

While off in the distance the smoke stacks[00:02:37]

Were belching back this city's best answer[00:02:40]

And the country side was pocked[00:02:47]

With all of those mail pouch posters[00:02:49]

Thrown up on the rotting sideboards of[00:02:52]

These rundown stables like the one that christ was born[00:02:55]

In[00:03:00]

When the old world started dying[00:03:00]

And the new world started coming on[00:03:03]

And I'll sing his song[00:03:06]

And I'll sing his song[00:03:11]

In the land of my sojourn[00:03:14]

In the land of my sojourn[00:03:26]

And I will sing his song[00:03:33]

In the land of my sojourn[00:03:37]
