This Side Of Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've made up my mind, it's been a long time.
I've got a dream of my own.
Why settle for less here at the wrong time.
There are better worlds yet to come.
Let it come.
Met a lot of people in my day.
They say your dream will fade away.
I've made up my mind to wait for You now,
I don't know the time, don't know the place.
But when I say
Please don't keep us waiting too long,
We've no lasting city this side of Heaven.
Please don't keep us waiting too long,
Cause things aren't looking to pretty
This side of Heaven.
I've seen the bright side of day,
And I've felt the dark side of night.
I choose the day.
Please don't keep us waiting too long,
We've no lasting city this side of Heaven.
Please don't keep us waiting too long,
Cause things aren't looking to pretty
This side of Heaven.
