Knowing what I know about Heaven

I bet the trumpets play and the angels sing Every sweet refrain of amazing grace And the Heaven's hands opened up the gate And the children dance when they saw Your face As happy as they were to see You coming I was just as sad to have to watch You go, go but Knowing what I know about Heaven Believing that you're all the way home Knowing that you're somewhere better Is all I need to let you go I could hope that I could pray you're back But why on earth would I do that When you're somewhere, life and love never ends Oh, knowing what I know about heaven Where every single voice makes a joyful noise How sweet the sound when the saints rejoice To every broken heart and every wounded soul New life begins on streets of gold But every tear that's raining here from my eyes I know the sun is shining where you are Oh, knowing what I know about Heaven Believing that you're all the way home Knowing that you're somewhere better Is all I need to let you go I could hope that I could pray you're back But why on earth would I do that When you're somewhere, life and love never ends Oh, knowing what I know about Heaven I could hope that I could pray you're back But why on earth would I do that When you're somewhere, life and love never ends Oh, knowing what I know about Heaven
