[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
