I Wanna Be There
(Chris Dedrick/Almitra Inc/ASCAP)
I wanna be there when the lion lays down with the lamb;
I wanna be there when an angel comes to marry my old man,
I wanna be there when the President is sainted by the Pope;
I wanna be there in an age that offers more than hope.
Every day’s a holiday and I’ll be there.
Every song’s a song of praise and sung with care.
Everyone’s your friend ‘cause everyone knows only One.
I wanna be there when the song is sung,
Come to the mountain where the babblin’ brook begins to flow.
Come to the valley where the rain is gentle and the magic gardens grow.
Come to your senses; we’ll be leaving soon because there won’t be time to spend.
Come to the sunshine where the summer rainbow sings again.
Every day’s a holiday and I’ll be there.
Every song’s a song of praise and sung with care.
Everyone’s your friend ‘cause everyone knows only One.
I wanna be there when the song is sung,
I wanna be there . . .
