Been To Canaan — Carole King

Green fields and rolling hills Room enough to do what we will Sweet dreams of yestertime Are running through my mind Of a place I left behind

Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then 'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

Though I'm content with myself Sometimes I long to be somewhere else I try to do what I can But with our day-to-day demands We all need a promised land

And it's been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then 'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again

Oh, I want to be there in the wintertime With a fireplace burning to warm me And you to hold me when it's stormy

Been so long, I can't remember when I've been to Canaan and I want to go back again Been so long, I'm living till then 'Cause I've been to Canaan and I won't rest until I go back again
