A Place Called Earth Lyrics by Jon Foreman

Departures

2021

[Intro]
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter will know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunderous joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
[Verse 1: Jon Foreman]
Oh, the wars we haven't won
Oh, the songs we've left unsung
Oh, the dreams we haven't seen
The borderlines
And here we are between all of our hopes and fears
Chasin' down these stolеn years
Reachin' out for hands unseen
On the bordеrline, the borderline
[Chorus: Jon Foreman]
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter would know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunderous joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
[Verse 2: Lauren Daigle]
Jesus' name still on her tongue
Questions buried in her lungs
"Oh, my father, why my son?"
The borderlines, the borderlines
[Chorus: Jon Foreman & Lauren Daigle]
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter will know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunderous joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
[Verse 3: Jon Foreman & Lauren Daigle]
I had a dream that I finally saw your face
Dancin' in the arms of grace
Dancin' through the joy and pain
On the borderlines, the borderlines
[Chorus: Jon Foreman & Lauren Daigle]
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
Where every son and daughter will know their worth
Where all of the streets resound with thunderous joy
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
[Outro: Lauren Daigle]
Oh, how I long for Heaven in a place called Earth
