California

[Verse 1]
Say goodbye to old Virginia
I will miss you when I leave
The hearts and hands that made me who I am
I will take them all with me
But someplace far away is calling
Where the sun sets on the sea

I'm on my way to California
Do you have a place for me?
Can I make a home forever?
In a city by the sea

[Verse 2]
Seems like I am always searching
For a place I can be found
Lovers, friends, no matter in the end
As long as they will stick around
But maybe this time will be different
And I'll find out where I belong

Are you there in California?
Are you waiting there for me?
What if you are also searching
In that city by the sea?

[Verse 3]
Little one why are you crying?
I will hold you 'til you sleep
The signs and stars have brought us where we are
I, with you and you, with me
And after all this time I wonder
If God heard every word I prayed

I found home in California
In a city by the bay
Hope has turned to hallelujah
And I will never be the same
