Lyrics: What moves my heart to seek, what breathes this longing within me?
Why does my soul look toward the east.
A sea I've never seen, hills and valleys strange to me,
And yet my heart yearns for Zion
My father's land is all I've ever known
Hunger and thirst have never passed my home
I know each song of morning birds and coyotes' playful howls at dusk
And yet my heart yearns for Zion
My father's land is all I've ever known
Why does my hand reach for the unknown
As Yahuwah's Spirit draws me bird and beast cease to speak
I hear the roaring sound, "My children come out"
And so I turn my eyes (toward the eastern sky)
For my heart yearns for Zion
