by the way the land is layin i think i d be safe in sayin that over the next hill we ll be home it s a straight and narrow highway no detours and no byways and over the next hill we ll be home from the prophets i ve been hearin i would say the end is nearin for i see familiar landmarks all along by the dreams that i ve been dreamin there will come a great redeemin and over the next hill we ll be home by the speed that we d been makin i would say there s no mistakin that over the next hill we ll be home there s a place that we are nearin that so many have been fearin and over the next hill we ll be home when we get there we re all hopin that we ll find the gate is open and there ll be a refuge from the comin storm for the way s been long and weary but at last the end is nearin and over the next hill we ll be home1
