I will go now, far away
To where the lamb and the lion play
I am leaving, right away
I hear the call and must obey
It’s not the place or the people
It’s the longing and never finding
It’s just me, just me

Oh that country is bright and green
Where the holy ones have been
Oh that goodness, too much for me
But no-one flees who once has seen
Just to forget all my worries
I will have my piece of mind
In another land, in another land

What we want, we never gain
All our hopes and fears are vain
Me hello, you goodbye
Never one I don’t know why
And all the longing ends in goodness
Perhaps not quite where we’d planned
All in another land, in another land

So I will go now, far away
To where the lamb and the lion play
I am leaving, right away
I hear the call and must obey
And all the longing ends in goodness
Perhaps not quite where we’d planned
All in another land, in another land
