Dont You Want To Be There

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to go?

Where the light is breaking and the cold clear winds blow

Don't you want to be there in the golden glow

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to fly?

With your arms out, let a shout take you across the sky

Don't you want to be there when the time's gone by

Times there was love all around you

Times you were strong and alone

Times you believed love had found you

And you fell through time like a stone

And those you have wronged, you know

You need to let them know some way

And those who have wronged you, know

You'll have to let them go someday

Don't you want to be there?

Don't you want to cry when you see how far

You've got to go to be where forgiveness rules

Instead of where you are

Don't you want to be there, don't you want to know?

Where the grace and simple truth of childhood go

Don't you want to be there when the trumpets blow

Blow for those born into hunger

Blow for those lost 'neath the train

Blow for those choking in anger

Blow for those driven insane

And those you have wronged, you know

You need to let them know some way

And those who have wronged you, know

You'll have to let them go someday

Don't you want to be there?

Don't you want to see where the angels appear

Don't you want to be where there's strength and love

In the place of fear
