Got to tell you something you might no know,
I've got a feeling this planet is not my home,
It's just a visit; I'm headed for some other place: another world in a land so far away,
If ever I feel discouraged, I remember I'm just passing through.

I'm taking it home, beyond the crystal sea,
I'm taking it home, oh,
I'm taking it home - forever home for me,
I'm taking it home.

It's not a matter of hating this place I'm in, it's more a matter of going where I've never been,
I think of Heaven, of everything the Bible says,
I feel a longing; it keeps me moving on ahead,
As sure as the sun comes rising, I'm headed to a better place.

I'm taking it home, beyond the crystal sea,
I'm taking it home, oh,
I'm taking it home - forever home for me,
I'm taking it home, oh yeah.

If ever I feel discouraged, I remember I'm just passing through.

I'm taking it home, beyond the crystal sea,
I'm taking it home, oh,
I'm taking it home - forever home for me,
I'm taking it home,
Taking it home, taking it home,
I'm taking it home, beyond the crystal sea,
I'm taking it home, oh,
I'm taking it home - forever home for me,
I'm taking it home, oh yeah.
