Lyrics
There's a place I have heard of where fear does not reign, where all wrongs have been righted, where they've brought an end to pain. Having lived in the darkness, having heard of this light, I will find this haven shining out into the night. So I walk o'er the mountains, and I sail 'cross the waves. I hie near to the day-break of a dream, a hope that saves. I will find this joy unending, peace and love for aye. It will not e're escape me, tho' it lies so far away. Oh, there's a place I have heard of where fear does not reign, where all wrongs have been righted, where they've brought an end to pain. Tho' my path is uncertain, yea, my goal is clear. I will sate this longing, I will ease this sorrow, I will press e're on-ward, for my home is ever near.
