City Called Heaven

[Verse 1]
I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow
Tossed in this wild world alone
I have no hope for tomorrow
I'm tryin' to make Heaven my home

[Chorus]
Sometimes our boat's tossed and driven
Sometimes I know not where to roam
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I've started to make it my home

[Verse 2]
My mother has received bright glory
My fathers did walkin' in sin
My brothers and sisters won't own me
Because I am tryin' to get in

[Chorus]
Sometimes our boat's tossed and driven
Sometimes I know not where to roam
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I've started to make it my home

[Verse 3]
Hark, what is that calling?
My blood runs so chilly, and so slow
The ones who have gone before me
Gon' pilot me through as I go

[Chorus]
Sometimes our boat's tossed and driven
Sometimes I know not where to roam
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I've started to make it my home
