The Other Side Of The End

There's a place we like to dream about A city somewhere in the clouds Some have faith, some have doubts Of heaven It's an old familiar mystery We've heard of but we've never seen There's no recorded history Of heaven We don't know if there's a pearly gate If you walk right through or have to wait Will we still look like ourselves just young again Is it silence or a symphony Will I miss the way things used to be Either way it helps to know I've got a friend On the other side of the end There's a ceiling looking down in Rome From the mind of Michelangelo It's beautiful but nothing close To heaven We've got movies, songs, and meditations From the best of our imagination I think I'll go with revelation Of heaven Is it a final breath, a cloud of fire A whispered word, an angel choir Will someone recognize me and let me in A receiving line, a celebration A drink of wine, a liberation A glorious reunion with my friends On the other side of the end On the other side of the end (ooh) So whatever's there beyond the grave The other side of time and space I sure can't wait to see your face In heaven
