Oh I've heard about the streets of gold

Since I was just a kid

Stories that my grandpa told

The truths that he unhid

Preacher man sang a song of love

Our savior was his pride

And he told of the perfect place

Just beyond the other side



Well there won't be no more sickness

Sorrow, death or pain

The sun will shine forever

No more darkness, no more rain

Glory hallelujah

Will echo through the halls

The other side is waitin'

Should our maker come to call



The other side is perfect

It was made just for a king

At the right hand of Almighty God

The angels start to sing

And the light surrounds Your very soul

The truth You cannot hide

The pearly gates will open

If You reach the other side



The other side is perfect

It was made just for a king

At the right hand of Almighty God

The angels start to sing

And the light surrounds Your very soul

The truth You cannot hide

The pearly gates will open

If when You reach the other side



The wait'l sure be worth it

When You reach the other side

Oh, the other side
