City Called Heaven
Journey to Hope: Exploring the Soulful Depths of 'City Called Heaven' by Jake Blount
Lyrics
I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow
I identify as a destitute traveler burdened by sorrow
Tossed in this wild world alone
In this unpredictable world, I find myself navigating alone
I have no hope for tomorrow
I lack optimism for the future
I'm tryin' to make heaven my home
I am striving to transform my earthly existence into a heavenly one
Sometimes our boat's tossed and driven
At times, our journey is tumultuous and uncertain
Sometimes I know not where to roam
There are moments when I am lost and directionless
I've heard of a city called heaven
I have heard of a celestial place referred to as heaven
I've started to make it my home
I am actively striving to make that heavenly place my permanent abode
My mother has received bright glory
My mother has attained a radiant and glorious state
My fathers did walkin' in sin
My ancestors lived sinful lives
My brothers and sisters won't own me
My siblings disown me because I am attempting to find salvation
Because I am tryin' to get in
Despite rejection, I persist in my quest for spiritual salvation
Sometimes our boat's tossed and driven
Similar to earlier, our journey is marked by turmoil and uncertainty
Sometimes I know not where to roam
I am sometimes lost without a clear path to follow
I've heard of a city called heaven
The concept of a heavenly city resonates with me
I've started to make it my home
I am actively working towards making heaven my permanent dwelling
Hark, what is that calling
I hear a call that captures my attention
My blood runs so chilly, and so slow
My blood runs cold and slow in response to this call
The ones who have gone before me
Those who have passed away before me will guide me on my journey
Gon' pilot me through as I go
They will serve as my guides as I navigate through life
Sometimes our boat's tossed and driven
Similar to before, our journey is tumultuous and uncertain
Sometimes I know not where to roam
There are moments when I am lost and directionless (repeated)
I've heard of a city called heaven
I have heard of a celestial place referred to as heaven (repeated)
I've started to make it my home
I am actively striving to make that heavenly place my permanent abode (repeated)
