lyrics
Lancaster, California sprawl
My friend was born in the hospital
I know nobody here at all
But I’m happy wherever You are
Over the hill where the city hides
After the road was the countryside
Laughed on the ridge as it met my eyes
I’m happy wherever You are
Windmills alight in the desert dark
Nothing like home, but it pricked my heart
Wherever I am is wherever You are
So I’m happy
Strange roads I have never trod
Always sneaking up on me
But with You, my Lord, my God
I’m right where I want to be
Let Your robe and let Your rod
Be my shelter in the valley
You are Love, and I am loved
And I want to love You more
You took me out to a stranger’s land
Barely could walk, so I took Your hand
As the hills bent to comfort this grieving man
Who’s happy wherever You are
I’m happy wherever You…
