I've heard of streets of gold a place where sorrow ends
But what will we do Lord when eternity begins?
Will I find the freedom my heart has longed to know
Or is paradise a mystery we're not meant to show?
They say we'll praise forever in endless song and verse
But is that all we'll have or could it be a curse?
Will I know the joy of living as I do today
Or is paradise just something that we say?
I seek the truth the answers clear
In this endless life will I find no fear?
Oh what is heaven's light?
Is it peace is it delight?
Will I still be me; will I still be free?
Or is it just a dream we chase in the night?
In a place where time stands still
Will the days grow long the nights grow chill?
What keeps the heart from losing its flame
In a world where nothing's ever the same?
I seek the truth the answers clear
In this endless life will I find no fear?
Oh what is heaven's light?
Is it peace is it delight?
Will I still be me; will I still be free?
Or is it just a dream we chase in the night?
Is there a home by the sea where I can walk alone
Or will I always feel like a stranger far from home?
What is this promise Lord that we strive to find?
Is paradise a place or just peace of mind?
So I ask you Lord with all that I am
Show me the truth reveal the plan
For if heaven's where I'm meant to be
Let it be a place where I'm truly free
