DISTANT LAND

She left her home; she'd had enough one day
Now she's alone, she didn't know what to say
Calling a friend, she didn't mean to fight
When will it end? Where is God tonight?

EVERYBODY'S BEEN TO A DISTANT LAND
FEELING FAR FROM THE FATHER'S HAND
STILL THERE'S ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
EVEN IN A DISTANT LAND

He's got these friends they say all must be free
He reads with them books on philosophy
But people I know call them their enemies
Maybe that's so, or maybe it's hard to see

From the time he was born we had it in for him
People be warned that man is full of sin
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
Oh my god why have you forsaken me

EVERYBODY'S BEEN TO A DISTANT LAND
FEELING FAR FROM THE FATHER'S HAND
STILL THERE'S ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
HE'S BEEN IN A DISTANT LAND
HE'S BEEN IN A DISTANT LAND
