Verse

Green fields and rolling hills

Room enough to do what we will

Sweet dreams of yestertime are running though my mind

 Of a place I left behind,

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus 2

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.

Bridge

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

Chorus 3

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.
