By the way the land is layin’ I think I’d be safe in sayin’ That over the next hill we’ll be home It’s a straight and narrow highway No detours and no byways And over the next hill we’ll be home From the prophets I’ve been hearin’ I would say the end is nearin’ For I see familiar landmarks all along By the dreams that I’ve been dreamin’ There will come a great redeemin’ And over the next hill we’ll be home By the turn the tide is takin' I would say there’s no mistakin’ That over the next hill we’ll be home There’s a place that we are nearin’ That so many have been fearin’ And over the next hill we’ll be home When we get there we’re all hopin’ That we’ll find the gate is open And there’ll be a refuge from the comin’ storm For the way’s been long and weary But at last the end is nearin’ And over the next hill we’ll be home
