I was only a little boy when I heard the call,
D C G
like a voice in the wilderness calls to us all.

D C G/Gadd9/G/Gadd9/G/
and I walked with the Troubadours, and flew with the doves...
C D
...in the city of love.

In the garden of paradise I heard a voice sing,

I could still feel the thrill of it; the chills it would bring.

Far away in the western sky over the sea,

there's a land that I dream about; peaceful and free...

...waiting for me.

in a land that we dream about; peaceful and free...

...waiting for me.
