i am a poor pilgrim of sorrow cast out in this wide world to roam i heard of a city called heaven i hope to make heaven my home sometimes, i am tossed and i'm driven sometimes, i know not where to roam i heard of a city called heaven i hope to make heaven my home i am now in a waste-howlin desert not a foot of this land to call mine no cottage nor tent for a shelter tho storms are descending sometimes i have friends that are now up in heaven and others still weeping within if none of our blood wants to claim us then heaven will take us in sometimes, i am tossed and i'm driven sometimes, i know not where to roam i heard of a city called heaven i hope to make heaven my home i hope to make heaven my home
