when we're gone we'll be in heaven looking downward at the sky

we will know all that there is to know and never have to ever wonder why

when we're gone from here forever, we will say our last goodbye

and go to a place where joy is ever-present and we never have to cry

We'll be brighter than a sunny afternoon

We'll be lighter than a helium balloon

We'll fly higher than the mountains on the moon, when we are gone.

when we're gone from all the worry, from the anger and the stress

we'll be trading all our bitterness and fear for constant peace and happiness

far away from these horizons, way beyond the furthest stars

He has gone there to prepare a place a paradise that someday will be ours

well I know the thought of dying makes us scared

no one wants to leave a life that they have shared

but nobody knows the things He has prepared for those who love Him

when we're gone

when we're gone we'll be with Jesus, we will see Him face to face...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

we'll be gone from all the sorrow and from every form of pain

and in the twinkling of an eye we'll all be changed and we will never be the same

***CHORUS***

well I know the thought of dying makes us scared

no one wants to leave a life that they have shared

but nobody knows the things He has prepared for those who love Him

when we're gone...
