Lyrics
Long way from the hills I know Morning comes and the heart runs slow Foreign sky and a foreign street But my roots are under my feet Carry home inside, lift up your eyes Home is in your heart, wherever you rise Carry home inside, lift up your eyes The sun that shines on you shines on home tonight Work all day with a steady hand Sing the songs of my father's land Distance is only a measure of miles Love don't count them, love just smiles Carry home inside, lift up your eyes Home is in your heart, wherever you rise Carry home inside, lift up your eyes The sun that shines on you shines on home tonight Sisters and brothers far and near Same sweet song for all to hear Hold on strong, hold on true The road will bring you back to you One day soon I'll walk that way Gate swings open at the break of day Until then I stand up tall Home is with me, after all Carry home inside, lift up your eyes Home is in your heart, wherever you rise Carry home inside, lift up your eyes The sun that shines on you shines on home tonight Lift up your eyes Lift up your eyes
