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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:24] Like the soul of

[00:00:26] A woman

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:59] Nobody tells you

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:18] Me

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

[00:02:30] Alley

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

[00:02:35] Of thunder

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:00] In

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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