Lyrics

I can hear the voices of the children
As they play down by the train yard
The rhythmic sound of factories
Echo ‘cross the hazy afternoon
And I wonder if they’ll ever hear the truth
And who will tell them
And by the time they learn who Jesus really is
Will they even care?

There’s millions and millions of people
Living for no tomorrow
They’re going through the motions of life
Without a reason why
And I wonder if they’re shutting out the truth
‘Cause it hurts too much to listen
Or didn’t anybody even care
To tell them what they’re missing

Somewhere beyond this life there’s a warm place called Heaven
Somewhere beyond this place there’s laughter everywhere
Jesus died so we could live
Forever there with Him
With no more crying or pain
Someone told me how to get there… one day.

They’re trying till they’re hopeless
Then dying in the darkness every day
They’re living in a gutter, or a mansion
Some are losers, and some feel great
But their souls are skin and bone
They starve for what’s unknown
While we choke on the answers they crave
Someone told me how to get there… one day.

Somewhere beyond this life there’s a warm place called Heaven
Somewhere beyond this place there’s laughter everywhere
Jesus died so we could live
Forever there with Him
With no more crying or pain
Someone told me how to get there
I could tell them how to get there
Or you could tell them how to get there… today.
