"Heaven" lyrics

You can see it in the eyes of a dying man...
It's like there's something there he can't comprehend
Call it fear or uncertainty
There's always this lingering question about eternity
Can't help but think about...
Where am I going when it's said and done?
Or is there anything after life under the sun?
So I slip away in my thoughts
I think about my rights and my wrongs
And I realize this life is just a breath
'Cause time is shorter than I know
But somewhere deep inside I just can't wait to go...

I'll lift this veil from my eyes and I'll fly away...
I've waited all of my life for this day
When I step my dirty feet through the pearly gates
And I finally see my best Friend face to face...
I'm in Heaven

I start walking down the streets of gold
In a moment surrounded by everyone I've ever known...
I can't help but notice there's a perfect smile on every face
Shouts of joy that call my name...
Overwhelmed by a peace that I can't describe
So I slip away in my thoughts
I think about the world that I lost
And I realize the world that lays ahead...
There's no more crying, no more pain, no more death or suffering
'Cause all my sin and all my shame has finally passed away
