Israel Hands Lyrics

Sullivan Israel Hands

I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I've been all around
So take me home
So take me home

Danny's older now
And his boots have filled with salt
His life has changed somehow
The earth is as new
As the clothes he outgrew

Four longer years on the great blue unknown
He's renewed the life that he's had all along

For I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I've been all around
So take me home
So take me home

If our brooms could speak
And our swords could raise themselves
Our lives lay incomplete
All brushed aside for a greater empire

Leave what we have to our God up above
The ocean's allowed us to all that we've done

For I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I've been all around
So take me home
So take me home

Take me home
(Her promise is all around, all around)
Take me home
(Her promise is all around, all around)
Take me home
(Her promise is all around, all around)
Take me home

I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
I've been all around
So take me home
So take me home
