Today I'm bringing you two topically minded songs from the master. This is the second of two; both were released earlier this year on "Personal File" (which was previously recommended here).

By the way the land is layin'
I think I'd be safe in sayin'
That over the next hill, we'll be home
It's a straight and narrow highway
No detour and no byways
And over the next hill, we'll be home

From the prophets I've been hearin'
I would say the end is hearin'
For I see familiar landmarks all along
By the dreams that I've been dreamin'
There will come a great redeemin'
And over the next hill, we'll be home

By the speed that we've been makin'
I would say there's no mistakin'
That over the next hill, we'll be home
There's a place that we are nearin'
That so many have been fearin'
And over the next hill, we'll be home

When we get there, we're all hopin'
That we'll find the gate is open
And there'll be a refuge from the comin' storm
For the way's been long and weary
But at last the end is nearin'
And over the next hill, we'll be home

There is one Wednesday between here and August 22.
