Oh, my land is like a wild goose
Wanders all around everywhere
Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails
So take me down to your dance floor
And I wont mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide
Some of my friends dont know who they belong to
Some cant get a single thing to work inside
So take me down to your dance floor
And I wont mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there
I loved you every day and now Im leaving
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes
I hope you know a lot more than youre believing
Just so the sun dont hurt you when you cry
Oh, take me down to your dance floor
I wont mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we may still be there
And tomorrow we may still be there
