Suburbs Lyrics

Greenville brought the grey skies

And it rained like it was springtime

The world, it bears a beauty on it's back

I love the Carolinas, the Blue Ridge and the pines

But Tennessee is all I've ever had

Somewhere in the suburbs

There's a little gravel drive

And a home with a heart of a mother

Just waiting there inside

She waits, she waits for us

Each day we're out till midnight

I can picture the home on the hillside

But I see her open door and open arms

Yearning is a holy thing, its the imprint of eternity

A sense that there is somewhere we belong

Somewhere in the suburbs

She's beckoning us home

And I can't help but love her

I'm a child she calls her own

She waits, she waits for us

I heard about the pilgrims when

They journeyed to Jerusalem

They sang about that city far away

Deep inside this soul of mine

I ache to see those city lights

And feel that holy rest beyond the gate

Somewhere there's a kingdom

With a door that's open wide

And a Father who's been waiting

For his child to come inside

The kingdom's come in the suburbs

In the home with the heart of a mother

Cause she lives the love of the Father

Who waits for us

He waits, he waits for us
