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
