A Place Called Earth Songtext
von Jon Foreman

Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunder′s joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth

All the wars we haven't won
All the songs we′ve left unsung
All the dreams we haven't seen on the borderlines
And here we are between all of our hopes and fears
Chasing down these stolen years
Reaching out for things unseen on the borderlines
The borderlines

Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunder's joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth


Jesus′ name still on her tongue
Questions buried in her lungs
Oh, my Father, why my tongue on the borderlines?
The borderlines

Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunder′s joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth

I had a dream that I finally saw Your face
Dancing in the arms of grace
Dancing through the joys and pains on the borderlines
The borderlines

Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunder's joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
