"Life is filled with sweet things
Look, and you will find them!"
Out of the days of longing
Out of the days of waiting
Here comes a call to go
Here comes the echo of hope
We let go and let God
We sold away stuff and disposed
And we just packed what we need
And loaded everything in the car
Off we hit the road one mile at a time
of our over 3,000 mile journey
And we just packed what we need
And loaded everything in the car
Off we hit the road one mile at a time
of our over 3,000 mile journey
To find a place much greener
To go down from the mountains
Going through the empty desert
Passing through the rocky mountains
Pausing to rest by the serene lake
Our bones and muscles tired
after 5 long days of driving
From the middle of nowhere
We kept moving to that somewhere
By the New Jersey sea coast
overlooking New York city
To find love and a new family
To gain more respect and honor
Ah, the delight of meeting an old friend
and the joy of making new ones
Finally we are at home
This is truly God's promise land
A land of plenty and bounty
Our souls at rest, our hearts merry
Each new day, a day of wonder
Each new wonder, a sweet encounter!
