lyrics
Far From This World
by Velvy Appleton
Dear Lord, hear my prayer
Wanna believe there's a place somewhere
Where we all flow into one
I pray there's a time and a space
I pray there's some peaceful place
When this all's been said and done
Show me the way of the water
Know me and my restless mind
Dear Lord, forgive my foolish pride
I don't know about hell and 'bout heaven
I don't care about the gold and the pearls
Dear Lord, I pray you made a place for love
And, I'm praying its not too far from this world
I'm praying its not too far from this world
Dear Lord, i'm tired and i'm torn
I've been forsaken, feel forlorn
And i can't pretend I'm blind
To the blast by the side of the road
To the boy with the stony load
To the mother with the cardboard sign
Show me the way of the water
Know me and my restless mind
Dear Lord, forgive my violent tribe
Save us from the greed and the madness
Save is from the tears and the blood
Dear Lord, I pray you made a place for love
And, I'm praying its not too far from this world
I'm praying its not too far from this world
