Green fields and rolling hills   Room enough to do what we will   Sweet dreams of yestertime   Are running through my mind   Of a place I left behind      Been so long, I can't remember when   I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again   Been so long, I'm living till then   'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again      Though I'm content with myself   Sometimes I long to be somewhere else   I try to do what I can   But with our day-to-day demands   We all need a promised land      And it's been so long, I can't remember when   I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again   Been so long, I'm living till then   'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again      Oh, I want to be there in the wintertime   With a fireplace burning to warm me   And you to hold me when it's stormy      Been so long, I can't remember when   I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again   Been so long, I'm living till then   'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again
