[Gentle Intro] . . . ! . . . . . . ! . [Verse 1] I heard them preach of Zion A city built on light They said that God was calling From across the sea [Verse 2] I sold my mother's ring I said goodbye to friends I packed my life in one small trunk And walked down to the shore [Chorus] Ten thousand miles to save my soul Ten thousand miles to Zion I left behind the only world I knew Ten thousand miles to glory Ten thousand miles alone God was waiting on the other side Or so they told me [Violin Break] . . . ! . . [Verse 3] The ocean stretched forever The waves like rolling hills I prayed each night for land And dreamed of streets of gold [Verse 4] When I reached the river city They welcomed me with smiles They said hold fast, be faithful Great blessings wait for you [Chorus] Ten thousand miles to save my soul Ten thousand miles to Zion I left behind the only world I knew Ten thousand miles to glory Ten thousand miles alone God was waiting on the other side Or so they told me [Bridge] They said the Prophet wished to see me To reveal the mysteries of heaven I thought that I would learn of God I did not know what waited [Final Chorus - slower, with foreboding] Ten thousand miles to save my soul Ten thousand miles to Zion I left behind the only world I knew Ten thousand miles... Ten thousand miles... And no way home [Fading Outro] No way home... (No way home...) [Fade to End]
