[Intro] A D A D [Verse 1]
Father AbraAham Do you rememAber when You were calDled to a land And didn't know the Dway
'Cause we are wanderiAng In a foreign laAnd We are chiDldren of the Promise of the faiDth
[Prechorus 1]
And I lF#mong to find it Can you feEel it, too? That the sDun that's shining Is a shadow of the trDuth
[Chorus]
This is a fAar country, this is a fDar country Not my hoAme D
[Verse 2]
In the dark Aof the night I can feel the shadAows all around me CoDld shadows in the corners of my heDart
But the heart of the fiAght Is not in the fleAsh but in the spirit And the spiDrit's got me shaking in the daDrk
[Prechorus 2]
And I lonF#mg to go there I can feEel the truth I can heaDr the promise Of the angels of the mDoon
[Chorus 2]
This is a fAar country, it's jusDt a far country Not my hoF#mme, not my homEe
[Instrumental] A D A D [Bridge]
I canF#m see in the strip malls and the phone calls The flaF#mming swords of Eden In the faDst cash and the news flash And the hoDrn blast of war In the siGn-fraught cities of the dyGing and the dead Like steBmel-wrought graveyards where the wiBmcked never rest To the hF#migh and lonely mountain in the groEaning wilderness We acDhe for what is lost As we Bmwait for the holy God Of Father AbrahAam, oh Father AbrahDam
[End Chorus]
I was mF#made to gEo there Out of this fAar country F#m To my hoEme, to mAy hDome This is a fAar country, it's just a faDr country Not my homAe, oh Father AbrahDam And I lonAg to go there D
