[Verse 1]
I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow
I'm tossed in dis wide world alone
No hope have I for tomorrow
I’ve started to make Heaven my home

[Chorus]
Sometimes I am tossted and driven, Lord
Sometimes I don' know where to roam
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I’ve started to make it my home

[Verse 2]
My mother has reached that pure glory
My father's still walking in sin
My brothers and sisters won't own me
Because I am trying to get in

[Chorus]
Sometimes I am tossted and drivеn, Lord
Sometimes I don' know wherе to roam
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I've started to make it my home
Sometimes I am tossted and driven, Lord
Sometimes I don' know where to roam
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I’ve started to make it my home
